I wonder how it is that presumes to tell pilots about what pilots are paid
to handle when he's not a pilot himself.

The key point is that a high level of skill is less and less necessary
when
flying under normal conditions, and this encourages employers to pay less
and
less for pilots.

LOL! I'd ask him to support this with something, but he wouldn't if he
could.


Of course, that all assumes that all pilots are paid, and all planes
have all the latest cool gadgets. What about planes that don't have
all this "automation?" Just because a Cessna is equipped with a three
axis autopilot, 2 nav radios, 2 com radios, adf, dme, gps, glass
cockpit etc etc in flight simulator does make that the norm (if only!
