Automation has contributed to the decline of airmanship, and for that lack of airmanship, more automation was created. A recent study done by the FAA/NASA revealed how much pilots don’t know about their own airplane. Out of 100 pilots evaluated it was a failing percentage that could manage flying and system malfunctions safely. It was frightening.
Almost no words to how far you had to stretch to try to distort the point I was making... of course manual flying is of high importance in operating a jet. Are you missing the point that you don't need to know how motive flow or override pumps work... so long as you understand how to use it?
Climb down from those pedestals you've put yourselves on... when you degenerate life or aviation into a ^#(^ measuring contest you are setting yourself up for a huge systemic failure.
