So what happens when the 'set GPS course' routes an aircraft straight into a storm, or the aircraft needs re-routing for spacing, or diversion, or medical emergency, or for collision avoidance? The cross checking is a fairly time-consuming process, as well as un-resourseful. In this circumstance you have more than two persons controlling one aircraft simultaneously, what have we learn't from that in the past? Disregarding the obligations to other aircraft under their individual responsibility. It's just not going to work, is it?
