Yes automation has reduced workload and increased safety. I won’t argue that. But total reliance on automation technology? Meh.
Fifty years ago there was so much confidence in technology, guns were pulled from fighters. Idealists imagined a Utopia. A reality check revealed the thinking was flawed as was the technology. Years later with significant advances, 5th gens carry guns.
Now we want to pull pilots. I’m pretty sure history will repeat itself.
