and eventually fully automated ATC without human intervention.
I think it's grossly unfair, nay disrespectful, to imply that pilots are not human!
On a more serious note, two questions:
i) If datalink was the sole means of ATC communication, notwithstanding the benefits, would pilots be able to maintain situational awareness?
ii) We are told that some pilots still insist on using their native language whilst at CDG etc. How
do they manage when operating in Airspace where French, or whatever, is not spoken by ATC?
