Re: This isn't news
I don't think anyone who can remember the slew of recent "issues" with various automated space probes could say that human pilots look bad when compared with automation systems and keep a straight face.
Airlines complain they have too many pilots and won't hire. Boeing claims too few and wants to put the same sort of system in the cockpit of the next flight from Heathrow to JFK as piloted the Martian Core Or Bust mission. Who to believe?
