There is a lot of worrying negligence being shown
As opposed to non-worrying negligence presumably?

But, yes I do think technology can help overcome the effects of under-manning and fatigue but I'm not sure that is necessarily a good thing.
The more people rely on that, the greater the risk of something very bad happening when the technology fails - which it will - and if the human beings are not ready and in a condition to do what human beings are great at, namely look at a bunch of weird and unexpected stuff going on and figure out quickly what to do about it, then some folk are likely to have a bad day.

Unfortunately as more and more companies that rely on technology, and I'm not talking just airlines here, are run by people who don't have a grasp of that fact (or indeed of the technology they are in charge of) the greater the risk of things going bad.

But, hey, I'm an engineer, what would I know?
