I think we pay "pilots" to sit in the front of the plane to watch while HAL kills us all. I use to not think that way.

You’re correct. They manage the avionics in-flight and even only manage the avionics during landing in some models. The SF crash was due to foreign pilots who had poor experience in manual landings.

I share your concerns. But again, I have better faith in US pilots than otherwise. I believe the aircraft are safe.
