I chose to highlight UAL 232 and the work of Haynes and his team, CRM, and a dash of forward planning and some bloody good luck!<BR/><BR/>As for automation, while it is mostly good and makes things easy, it can also cause its own problems. What's the saying? - to err is human, to really stuff up takes a computer ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-1129238471419890352005-10-13T21:21:00.000+00:002005-10-13T21:21:00.000+00:00Come to think of it, my job will be outsourced to ...Come to think of it, my job will be outsourced to Bumfaq, India long before you'll be flying passenger flights by remote control from the ground.dibabearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160261542703053377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-1129238407820975682005-10-13T21:20:00.000+00:002005-10-13T21:20:00.000+00:00I work in automation.

Computers are good for lots of things but what they are absolutely terrible at is assembling random bits of data and drawing an independent (i.e. not pre-programmed) conclusion. And since you can't anticipate every permutation there will always be situations the computer can't comprehend.<BR/><BR/>Real life example...the Airbus that crashed while doing a demo. The computer overrode the pilot's input because it was outside of the parameters the computer accepted as normal and into the trees they went. It was outside of parameters because he was flying a low-level low-speed pass a maneuveur that wasn't "normal".dibabearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160261542703053377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-1129233399411956292005-10-13T19:56:00.000+00:002005-10-13T19:56:00.000+00:00Do you think the entire world can ever be THAT aut...Do you think the entire world can ever be THAT automated?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
