Sir - Why do those bent on eradicating human error in the cockpit by the use of automated systems overlook the fact that these systems are made by just another man - on the ground - and are as prone to suffer human error?
At least the man in the cockpit has a fighting chance to correct his errors as they unfold and is highly motivated to do so. The man on the ground can shield behind corporate anonymity and official secrecy.
Which one would you trust with your life?
