What "Management is missing"

What Management is missing is that we are gradually changing the ability on the Flight Deck from pilots who know what it's like to operate an aircraft without an autopilot and who recognise, from experience, what is going on in an attitude of more than 60 degrees of bank ( heaven forbid 180) and can do something - naturally - about it.
OK - all the old farts are leaving but that has always happened. In the past the old guys were replaced by new (similar) guys i.e. people with military experience of fast jets or big 'bomber' types. V force people and Herc drivers had all flown Jet Provosts upside down and inside out!
Now, we have a generation who have never flown ANYTHING except airliners - essentially straight and level.
Why would they be capable of correcting anything 'unusual'? Sims??
2016 will kill many people in serviceable/flyable aircraft accidents.
Well done to the Accountants who have so diminished our Profession.
"Psychological rest" just about sums up the disconnect…………
