I thought there were some good bits and bad. Some interesting explanations of incidents like Qantas and the BA 777 which went into a reasonable amount of detail.
For an engineer though I thought he sounded very sensationalist; I would have expected a more nuanced view from someone with such qualifications. The JetBlue incident for example simply did not warrant the amount of time and hyperbole that was expended on it!
Other issues raised like automation dependency, fatigue and poor pay were all worth raising and discussing but his presentation of them often seemed disorganised and confused. It would have been nice to see some more interesting and knowledgable experts talk about those points as well because again the few that did speak gave rather basic and alarmist views - I was particularly irritated by the suggestion that hand flying skills can only be gained in the military.
