People argue how automation dependence is now causing accidents and what a problem it is.
Imagine all the smoking holes over certain parts of the world without it.
Imagine no TCAS, no GPWS! Imagine raw data approaches, mental arithmetic for descent profiles, holding pattern sector entries and speed control after 14 hours in ****ty weather. No thanks.
Automation may have killed a few people now, but I wonder how many people it has saved!
If I flew as a pax on certain airlines, I'd appreciate the autoflight systems on.
Thanks
