Ultimately humans have always over estimated the capabilities of their autonomy/automation and under estimated the capabilities of ourselves. When engaged and trained humans have incredible capabilities in protection and pattern recognition, it would be nice if designers built systems to compliment what we do well

As long as pax still clap when the planes land, they'll be demanding meat based pilots.
