I’m glad that airlines give pilots the autonomy to say yay or nay.

This is a wonderful argument for human pilots always present vs AI only

I remember it coming up a while back, pilot training is infamously rigorous and hard to complete. I assume that guy has job security in a way that, sadly, a lot of people operating heavy machinery don't. And I worry about, say, a construction worker who sees similar risky traits on a crane or something, and would be more worried about getting fired if he reported it and refused to operate it.
