The business protects itself by postively encouraging pilots to not fly manually, because, overall this is safest. What it does not do, is allow for the outlier occurances where a skilled hand flyer will save the day.
The business is killing itself by telling everyone that "we can't trust our pilots".

Just put a big red button on the center console that engages the "emergency super autopilot" which overrides any manual attempt to overcome a nasty situation by the pilots (soon to be implemented I'm sure).
When active it will produce a nice funny tune with the electronic voice "you're fd nanana … you're fd nanana..."

In silicon we trust.
