You may be using your own skills as a reference for the rest of the pilot population. If you read the piece on the end of the link I posted earlier you will see that less than 50% of those we see can be considered to be 'competent'.
Let me get this straight....If I am the "Driver", "Handling Pilot", "Pilot Handling", "the Guy with his Mitts on the Sticks".....are you suggesting I have to rely upon the other guy up front to mash a button to select a Mode....turn a Heading Knob....or reset a Bug?
Is that what you are saying?
All this while the Autopilot System is controlling the machine for me in response to my inputs?
