Do this long enough and you start to get a feel for who the airline manufacturers are making planes for. Some has been written about the insiders saying 'we assume the biggest idiot nepotist hiring Chief pilot moron, hiring from the bottom of the resume pile, stuff the seats with incompetent kids'.
So they design slow planes, docile flying characteristics, where the computers handle the stick and big screens tell the pilots where they are. All in the hopes that the pilot salary savings equals more in cash then insurance costs and lawsuits from crashes.
It's working to a certain extent except what your not told is the massive debt the airlines have piled up buying new planes instead of just flying around paid off 737s with new engines. Nope, you don't hear about that. Nor do you hear about how most of the system has gone short haul commuters, nor do you hear that the 'flying' is the same place, same time, over and over, back and forth.
So the kids love it, they can call themselves pilots, the chief pilots love it because they have robots working for them, the passengers love it because they get cheap tickets.
But at a certain point you can't finance $50 million dollar planes to shoe horn kids in to the cockpit to make it work.
Sooner or later the debts come due. I suspect it will wander back to real pilots getting hired, but who cares, really, if no one cares if the Air France guys can't stay straight and level, so be it, a Darwinian outcome.
