With the advanced technology in today's Aircraft, is "Automation Addiction" becoming a detriment to commercial airline pilots? Are pilots forgetting how to fly? How to recover in a serious situation using the "Hands on" method of flying? Crew Resource Management should be a mandatory requirement for all flight crews, foriegn and domestic, cockpit and cabin crews. Keep "Culture" etiquette out of the cockpit and cabin. And give Flight Attendants the authority to initiate an evacuation. UAL implemented that authority to us years ago. 90 seconds to wait for a cockpit command to evac is beyond my comprehension. If the Flight Attendants initiated the evac immediately, there might have been a different ending to this unfortuane accident. These Flight Attendants did an outstanding job!
big boo boo
Here's the computer generated video of the final approach with a comparison of what the final should have been. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1396882603859485
Unfortunately a third has died, a child.
Pilot interviews indicated they thought the AutoThrottle was engaged...and it was not. Airspeed was not in the pilot's scan which accounts for the wild elevation changes. Final telemetry release and NTSB findings will be interesting; but clearly CRM and oversight of a short-time 777 driver are evident. Thank God only 3 souls were lost.
This is a safe ship IMHO. First casualties on US soil EVER...and it looks like pilot error.
I would fly one tomorrow, but not a 787.
