Some peckerwood's gotta take the beast up, and some peckerwood's gotta...land the son-of-a-bitch. And that peckerwood's called a...'pilot'
...You're mighty right.

For the remedials: The notion that any "system" will replace the human mind in the short-term future is a pure fantasy. The virtue of the human mind is that can process information in a parallel fashion...computers are and will likely always be a linear processor. Let the computers loose on GA aircraft first, see how often "The System" fails, then come back and impress us with how "pilots" have become obsolete. This accident strikes me as the perfect example of how taking human beings OUT of the equation leads to disasater. You can't program Jugdment, it's a human trait. And when you head in that direction, well...
