Automation for G/A?!? We don't need no stinker automation! Did you have automation when you all got your single or multi IFR tickets? How did you survive?! Even during single pilot operations at night with crappy conditions?

What happened to following the MAP on the chart, or ATC instructions? As a side bar, when conducting Sim training in the NG, many missed approaches are done without LNAV or VNAV for the development of better situational awareness. How would you fly the MAP with loss of RNP/ANP? Beware flight control computers are subject to loss of situational awareness as the bodies in the cockpit. Without TAWS, the FCC will gladly command the AP to fly your jet into a mountain during a path descent on an off route heading.

My opinion is that those straight out of the puppy mills right into magenta or green lined jets need to get away from the automation, and continue to build their flying experience, because perish the thought of no automation!
