Re: Emergancy action is the problem.
"Commercial Pilots never need to fly the plane in good conditions."
Your argument applies to military pilots, too. Hardly anyone just flies airliner-sized craft "for fun" and so the end result is (or will be) that the only truly qualified pilots in the world will be the test pilots who work for the manufacturers. Turning their knowledge and experience into an algorithm may be Hard, but it is probably a safer option than hoping that relatively untrained meatsacks can somehow learn on the job in a crisis.
