We have automation doing some things, but some things the human has to do even when the automation is better.
ECAM
Computer tells you what to do.
You do it.
Computer sees you do it, and moves on to next item.
You are not supposed to think, just do.
You are merely an error vector.
You can mention times when you shouldn't follow ECAM, but how do you know not to follow ECAM? Because you are told not to in the book. Therefore it is just a rule that a computer could follow itself.

You do it.
You are not supposed to think, just do.
Its a simple manoeuvre that a computer would always do perfectly
You are merely an error vector.
EGPWS
Computer tells you what to do.
You do it.
You are not supposed to think, just do.
Its a simple manoeuvre that a computer would always do perfectly
You are merely an error vector.
