Exactly !!!!!
The trust in automation by new pilots is scary..... Many incidents and accidents the last years show a terrible situation...
My instructor (100 years ago) once said : fly the ..... Plane, don't let it fly you !!!

My thoughts exactly. Is the cockpit management problem about the person in the right seat not assertive enough to tell the person in the left seat, "we are going around while we still can!" I suppose one could argue that if the ILS was operational and given how much some airlines apparently depend on automation, this accident would not have happened, however this accident occurred during VFR conditions and the ability to land a plane using visual references is still a piloting requirement.
See below, old man. I've already vented. LOL. Like I said, if you can't fly it, move aside and let somebody that can. And Zumwalt is just a lap dog. He was a former airline pilot and said the manuals were complicated but I'll bet he never gave up a run and voluntarily asked for more training.
Pride goeth before the crash!
Yeah, but you're an old pilot about put out to pastor. Can your word be trusted?

He's in his Bengay years...
Find a lowly student pilot who has not learned the concept of being on speed, on power with a stable descent rate on glide path even in severe clear and I'll point you to an instructor who needs to lose his tickets. It does not matter whether it's a 152 or a 777. The same rule applies. The airplane doesn't care if you're a non-solo student or have 30,000 hours in heavy iron.
These guys were unstable at least seven miles out and they continued, not acting until a half-mile from the threshold. They failed to make it do what they needed to do. They should have been hand-flying and were overdependent upon automation. They over-corrected for excessive error, made several large changes in succession and made themselves even more unstable. In the end, that bird did exactly what it was designed to do... no power, no speed... no fly!
