Isn’t being able to fly by looking out the window and reading the instruments the most basic of all for pilots?
What fools don’t train the people to fly very expensive aircraft with hundreds of people on board to fly manually?

Reminds me of the Air France crash a few years ago where the air speed sensors froze. Not being able to determine the airspeed the pilots stalled the plane. I still dont understand why they couldnt get the speed from their GPS.
