Nor am I, but Boeing does a very good job of using technology to -help- the pilots, vs. Airbus, who tries very hard to use technology to -replace- the pilots.

In a Boeing, with one button push, you can turn it all off and you are once again in control.

With Airbus, you first have to discuss it, with 3 computers, they have a board meeting, and then they get back to you...you may -or may not- like the 'solution' they come up with!

But the bottom line is, it comes down to training. All the US Major Airlines spend a lot more time, and money, training their pilots than any of the 'third world' carriers.
