Sully's landing in the Hudson is a landing all of us should be able to do. If you don't think you could do it automation was probably the problem.
We all need to remember we are pilots, not computer managers, so always know you can fly as well as the buttons you push can fly. The new generation of pilots don't agree with this and the companies that train them don't but if you can not fly an airplane your computer can't then you shouldn't be a pilot. Autopilots were designed to help you not replace you.
Don't let management let the bottom line control airline safety.
