I think you'll find a trained pilot is likely to be worse than a button pusher!

I'm sure I read on The Reg another article about the loss rates of US drones flown by actual pilots being higher when they land manually (theirs are 'flyable' in the manned aircraft sense) than under computer control.
Basically, Lord Flashheart types think they can land better than the computer, only to be proved wrong when they write them off... wooof!
