Don't quite see this is related to auto dependency, more about using a system in the standby mode that backs up the action of the PF to enhance safety.
That's certainly the case regards the alpha floor protection - it won't operate unless the PF has f**ked it up by not setting sufficient thrust - so it's about redundancy and safety.
We all have airports where different actions/procedures may be more appropriate - then you explain why, brief what functions you will/will not use, that's fine and all part of normal operations.
The question revolves around the 90-95% of flights where there are NO such consideration,
Disconnect a system that enhances safety.
Yeah - that really makes sense in this day and age, love to see THAT logic explained in a court of law after an incident/accident.
Cheers.
