It does not matter how computer savvy a pilot is, it is all out the window when the state of the art system goes down. The whole reliance on technology breeds a bunch of pilots who have no idea how to handle the aircraft when his triple backup computers go down as has been seen by accidents over the recent past when either onboard systems or ground aids have failed. Pilots today seem not to be trained to use the Mk1 eyeball and certainly are not able of managing the "there I was upside down with nothing on the clock but the makers name" situation.
Being an expert computer geek will never make a good pilot, you need much more than that. I had the wish to be the next Biggles when I got my PPL but soon decided that I did not have that special something that would make a good pilot. I have still had over 40 years in the industry and enjoyed every minute.
