So British Airways management in their ultimate wisdom prevents pilots from manually flying the aircraft on the line. Than, just because they feel this measure is not enough to eradicate basic manual flying skills, they reduce the frequency from two sims a year to one sim. And I am sure it is backed up by some kind of a study, that it does not effect the safety. If this is happening in legacy carrier, what is happening elsewhere?
May be we should introduce a new profficiency called "attitude flying" and at least one pilot in the cockpit should have this qualification "unexpired"
May be a pilot error should be called management-pilot error. Because he pilot is usually dead after the accident and there is nothing to improve anymore.
But the systemic management incompetency could be improved upon.
And we would have less management-pilot errors in the future.
