Understood Dutchroll. But yes, with the brave new world that is ahead of us with satellite control systems, integrated air traffic control, aircraft "talking" to each other (eg google cars) etc etc it is inevitable eventually that pilots will have less and less control.
Interesting times ahead of us.
We are all too aware of how many pilots have killed us but it would also be interesting to know ow many times pilots have saved us. And, are they saving us from the dangers caused by other pilots?
On the other hand, it would be difficult to imagine a computer saving us from a situation like QF 32.
