Two quotes from How-Airliners-Fly (first published in 1997). The first refers to landing technique:
You can be sure that PNF will be monitoring attentively and will have no compunction about calling out deviations from the correct approach path and speed.
In this accident it seems the 'attentive monitoring' and 'compunction' were absent, perhaps because of the cultural factors to which many posters have alluded.
Again, will our future pilots be able to fly their aircraft without the assistance of autopilots and computers when necessary if they never get the chance to practise these skills during normal operation? A related factor is that a pilot whose job is merely to watch the aircraft fly itself is unlikely to be as well motivated as one who can get his or her hands on the controls now and then. Designers of future aircraft and airline managers must address the issue of how much and under what conditions pilots should be allowed, or indeed encouraged, to fly manually and without guidance systems. It is likely that compared to a mere aircraft monitor, a skilled, motivated pilot will always make a greater overall contribution to flight safety.
It would seem that airline managers, and perhaps regulatory authorities, have not addressed this issue.
