I think the reason to encourage automation use is to not need qualified pilots to fly these automated airbuses that really don't need a qualified pilot any more according to Airbus. AF just demonstrated how well that works RIO to Paris. Maybe they should have at least one qualified pilot in the cockpit, not in back sleeping. I know he needed his legal rest but why let new guys with little experience be totally in comand? Can't they afford qualified pilots?
