I have absolutely no opinion on this topic——but I read this article several times and found it VERY interesting.

I am aware of that 18-year old event. I have not been able to find a documented case of am autopilot malfunction since and even that one is not 100% sure.

All that does is add weight to the existing rule of keeping the redundant pilot. It doesn’t change the fact the pilot is unnecessary for operations.

I am glad there is a pilot but it would not bother me if I was on a pilotless flight.
