I’m not too concerned yet. Once they eliminate engineers and fully automate trains, I’ll take notice

So recovering from errors that are human induced is the gold standard?

I see. So recovering from errors that are human induced is the gold standard? Maybe in today’s world but not the future’s.

Humans are the weakest link in the accident chain.

Were the 737Max issues pilot induced? Didn't we have similar incidents on U.S. carriers that were a non event because the pilots flipped the trim switch disconnect (or the Lion Air incident)?

How do you think the robot would have done flying Sully’s plane?

While the 737MAXs had some seriously flawed human factors assumptions built in to MCAS, I agree the two crashes should have been avoidable. But that’s my point. It was an incorrect response by HUMAN pilots to a malfunction of one system. Boeing has a prescribed response to the failure these aircraft experienced. And prescribed responses are something computers can do with much better accuracy than humans.

To have such hubris that US pilots are immune from such mistakes invites disaster. We all mistakes. Every flight. Every day. CRM and TEM trap most mistakes but it only takes a few holes to line up to have an accident.



How do you think Sully would have done if it had been solid IMC?
