Not only was the first assertion untrue, but also neither has come to pass. That's all I'm saying.
Methink that removing pilot etc .. will not come because FBW or any automation ... but instead as a logical continuation of statistics studies
Indeed the old statistics indicate that percentage of accidents occurred by structural defects ... then it came the time of mechanical problems (engines and others) and now the statistics show an increasing number of accidents due to "pilot error"
The statistics show that it should therefore (for the better) replace the pilot with something else to solve this problem like it was performed for structures and engines
