737er: Agree, we are a long, long way from fully automated. But, wouldn't that only support more eyes? Also, you really think it's impossible to correct massive input for CFIT from cruise? If it's at least possible, isn't it worth it?

Doc,

Not sure I understand what you mean by "more eyes". Please explain and I will give you my take.

As far as CFIT from cruise recovery, sure it's possible. But if a nutjob is bent on crashing the plane, then all we would be doing is changing the timing in which he accomplishes that.
