Default Aircraft without pilots

In fact, I'm amazed at how willing pilots are to entrust their lives to
something like a G1000, which cannot _possibly_ have been developed with
complete safety in the time it took to produce. I guess the glamour of having
that big screen in the cockpit is worth dying for.

This has got to be the dumbest 2 sentences I have read...even from
you. Real pilots spend many hours learning how to interpret the
instruments they have and develop contingency plans for when
instruments/display systems fail. Even the most advanced aircraft
have a good ole' fashion wet compass and steam gauges in case displays
go dark.
