Default Boeing resolved to make pilots obsolete.

The irony is palpable. "The only thing that can prevent a crash caused by automation is more automation!" There's a 3-letter organization that uses the same logic, but that's for another time.

Airbus has tried the same philosophy for decades and it has not resulted in a lower accident rate. But they did do it better.

The only thing that has proven to keep the flying public safe is automation that works WITH a pilot who is adequately vetted and trained. I'll say it again, adequately vetted and trained.

And it takes an American corporate executive to draw the perverse conclusion that the pilots were the primary problem after putting them in an airplane with a surprise self-destruct mode built into it.
