I think you're right. I was harsh in my response. But really, I'm just tired of all the B.S. I have people I've known for years tell me that airplanes "land themselves too right?" I'm tired of explaining and correcting the misinformation from the media, from non-pilots who write about pilots, and now from pilots who write about pilots. It's especially frustrating after finishing a 4 day with mostly 9 hour layovers, with the Captain and I using our years of skill and experience (not relying on automation) to manage tasks, deviate around tornadic cells, and fly multiple approaches in poor weather with at least 1 day with multiple malfunctions.... to come home and read this.

I wrote and posted that in haste. The guy obviously didn't mean any harm.
