Yes, Tourist, I've only got about half-way so far, but it's evident that you've been a tour-de-force. Admirable, although your hard work is no doubt encouraged by your pursuit of an interesting agenda; one that is not, however, instantly popular in a forum for professional pilots.

Unfortunately, you cannot expect everyone else to apply themselves with comparable enthusiasm. And remember: right or wrong you are the heretic here, and therefore the burden of proof lies with you; even if that involves boring and patient repetition of your arguments, and the evidence that you use to support them.

Most readers coming to this thread could be forgiven for assuming that the main subject under discussion will be the effects of CURRENT automation on the handling and management skills of the existing pilot force, and how they might be mitigated right now.

Your advocacy of the fully-autonomous airliner at some time in the near or more-distant future is no doubt worthy of a thread all of its own.
