NorthernKestrel,
1) Thanks for the link !!! Just watched all of it.
2) "His comments on the next generation of pilots (expect "little or no training" needed) & technology are noteworthy."
Listen again..... in that context he comments on the fact that the current generation will have been brought up in the "computer world" and so will have fewer problems than the previous generation in converting from the "round clocks" to the glass cockpit.
He still does mention the basic problem of basic flying skills getting eroded.
