Doze.

@DozyWannabe
Yeah, but you can't design airliner safety concepts around the assumption that the pilots will be "really good". Average ability must be assumed, alongside failsafes to catch pilots having a "below average" moment.

That is precisely the beginning of the Hamster Wheel that will perpetuate these wrecks. The Spiral of "Better Automation", "Diminished Ability".

Do you see the connection?
