Today I'm thinking again about the "Children of the Magenta" lecture. In the late 90s, airlines realized that after going all-in on automation and flight assists in the 80s, they had trained a generation of automation-dependent pilots who were no longer capable of dealing with novel situations in which the automation couldn't help, or failed. Children of the magenta flight path line on the computer.
