The amount of trust a pilot has in automatics depends a lot on his/her experience. Years of flying Airbuses will most likely breed more trust in the computers than you will get from years of flying 60s/70s types with sometimes unreliable automation. Also people have a tendency to revert back to what they were taught first, which for any pilot will be a simple control system without any computers.
