Aside from the TSA issues I have one reason I stopped flying was the Vietnam era pilots all retired. The new guys aren’t really good at flying the plane as much as they are programming the autopilot.
The smaller, regional planes do not have that autopilot unless I am mistaken.
That's true for European and Asian pilots. There are still better standards here in America.
