Was just listening to 20/20 on TV, talking about pilots and planes. It seems like for a 7 hour flight, a pilot may spend 3 minutes pressing a few buttons, and the rest of the flight is controlled completely by the computer. They were saying that that's the cause of so many planes landing in the wrong airports lately, and accidents resulting when the runways are not ready or capable of handling that plane.
They said if the pilot does have to do some flying in an emergency, a lot of them are rusty or have little hands-on experience, which also causes some dangerous problems. I rarely fly, and I don't care if I never do again, hopefully I won't have to.
Did you ever experience a bad situation on a plane flight?
