Tourist. “Alf is all about adapting how we use pilots to best effect.”
Not so much individual adaptation (not more training), but the need for the industry to review and adjust the system-wide situational influences which could reduce the pressure of operations, so the pilot is better able to perform. Adjust operations to match human capability, not fit the human to the operation.
Not luddites, but the need to learn from the initial use of automation in today’s operations before choosing how and when to use technology and automation in the future.
