The former US Navy Top Gun pilot has a stark warning about the pace of automation in aviation.

"There's pilot confusion; there's startle; there's loss of control. The journey is different but the destination is the same. Do they even know how the system works – how to negate it?" he asked of those piloting the Boeing 737 MAX planes that crashed.investigations into the 737 MAX crashes

Passengers and crew on QF72 were propelled into the cabin roof after a computer malfunction sent the A330 into two uncontrolled nose dives. "As the world is trying to embrace more automation ... I feel it's my responsibility to say, 'Hey ... let's talk about this a little bit more [and] let's not run to embrace this,' " he said.

‘Bang and sparks’ on Qantas flightA Qantas flight departing Tokyo bound for Sydney was forced to divert and land in Cairns after passengers heard a “loud bang” from their aircraft’s engine. Thats the thing with Qantas their fleet is ageing and I avoid them where I can. This aircraft is a 747-400 and most airlines in the world retired that aircraft type years ago. That model first came to service in 1989.

'I’ve become very isolated': the aftermath of near-doomed QF72Faced with a mid-flight computer failure, a captain had only seconds to steer his plane to safety. It took much longer to work through the mental fallout. The problem is the modern so-called airline pilot, surrounded by technology, finds difficult to understand, has ended up like a cockpit manager. Lost the art of flying with just an AH, AS, DG, ALT. TACHO. Too much reliance on technology not enough of his own skills. I have seen too many Aircraft Crash Investigations episodes to want to fly anymore in airliners. I am now a student pilot in RAA, my training aircraft has all “steam” gauges. Will never fly with glass cockpit. I am the pilot and the buck stops with me, not a heap of computers.

Boeing was told 737 Max had safety flaws in 2017, say unionsA sharply worded report from three unions in 2017 said that the planemaker was given too much authority to oversee itself and that its new 737 Max had safety concerns. I'm surprised that the airframe is considered airworthy with the new engine configuration, larger diameter engine mounted higher up closer to the wing, that naturally forces the nose up during periods of high engine output such as climbing after take off.
