Yeah until you get to the point where you need someone to make an instinctual decision but the automation cannot do it. After the third go around for unstable conditions and the fuel is about to run out and this landing must be made - who do you want doing it? Me or George?
I can’t count the times I’ve climbed above plan or slowed to requested shortcuts to conserve fuel that I ended up needing because of Atc or wx delays. I can SEE a building cell and avoid it as nothing yet is showing on the radar. Etc.

Of all the aviation accidents you can remember, how many were due to Automation vs Pilot Error ?
