    Yep.

    If you want to see why we need highly trained, highly skilled pilots, with strong work ethic and principles, just go watch The Flight Channel.

    When systems fail (and they do all the time), these are the folks ensuring you make it to the ground at an appropriate speed (or not).

    “You never want to run out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas”. We’re a long way from tech itself generating ideas on the fly.
