I may have you beat.
While living (and based) in Boston for a major airline (circa 1990), I made the mistake of talking to the professor occupying the boeing chair at M.I.T. (massachusetts institute of technology...where smart guys aren't smart enough).
He told me the idea was that any plane built from now on could be easily handled by someone with 250 hours and that skilled pilots were no longer required to fly big jets.
He said that Boeing wanted to be able to sell the new jets to any country, even one without a ready pilot cadres. And that mainly places with lots of oil could pay lots for the plane and not have to hire expats to fly them.
Of course, being quite happy flying the DC9 with virtually NO automation, I asked: what happens when the gadgets break and the plane is in trouble.
He said it wouldn't happen.
he said it wouldn't happen.
he said it wouldn't happen.
