!!!!!!!!!!!

It about safety, surely any attempt to make flying safe for passengers should be commended?

Sadly it has nothing to do with safety but is all to do with making money, you do realise comercial pilots are taken into the simulator just twice a year, and for some it's the only time they even come close to manual flying and even then not all emergencys are practiced, this is all about saving money for the airlines, unlike the military who get continuous training.
No........ real safety will come from properly trained pilots who are well practiced, but because humans are slightly less efficient than computers and burn slighly more fuel (seriously) the airlines discourage hand flying.

Of course its do with safety, the money side of things is pretty much what is expected when you design a system based on what a airliner requires...

But aren't you seriously over generalizing a bit on the training... sure some airliners don't train nearly of often as they probably should but the "top" airlines have a good record for a reason.

Unfortunately I work on the engineering side of things rather than the pilots (where I wanted/wish to be) side
