AF447 pilots didn't screw up the automation, the automation failed. Can't you see that? They were left with an aircraft with no automation and neither one could fly it manually. Everybody died because nobody could hand fly in the cockpit. It was an easy fix for anybody that could hand fly, they couldn't. Make our pilots really know how to fly the airplane before letting them fly if automation doesn't work. It is quite simple.
