text: This is a dreadful idea. Pilots who have been reduced to 'flight managers' who basically operate the computer controls in a cockpit will be at a real disadvantage in a real-world emergency.
  
  This problem of poorly-trained pilots was one of the causes of the Asiana Airlines crash in San Francisco in 2013. 
  
  Pilots need more, not less, cockpit time and more flying in the often difficult and confusing environment they frequently work in.
