A quote from a pilot some time ago:-
“the machine that we will be handling will become increasingly automated; we must therefore learn to work as a team with automation;
a robot is not a leader in the strategic sense of the term, but a remarkable operator;
humans will never be perfect operators even if they indisputably have the capabilities to be leaders;
strategy is in the pilot’s domain, but not necessarily tactics;
the pilot must understand why the automation does something, and the necessary details of how;
it must be possible for the pilot to immediately replace the automaton, but only if he has the capability and can do better;
whenever humans take control, the robot must be eliminated;
the pilot must be able to trust automation;
acknowledge that it is not human nature to fly;
it follows that a thinking process is required to situate oneself, and in the end, as humiliating as it may be, the only way to insure safety is to use protective barriers” (1996)
