Automatic this, or auto that - there's NO excuse for not monitoring
a system to ensure it's doing what you asked it to do. To set it
and forget it to have its own way good or bad is criminal in my
opinion. Three highly-experienced, well-paid men just sitting there
doing nothing??!!! Couldn't somebody at least glance at airspeed
indicator and altimeter occasionally during such a critical part of
flight - slowing down and descending - and again, I mean DURING the
operation, not after it's supposedly completed? 'Sounds like flying
has become TOO boring - maybe they really can just put a monkey in
the seat or leave the "monkeys" at home, anyway, if those paid to do
it are just gonna sit there and play "monkey."

If it going to be all automated, then eliminate the people and
thereby pilot error. If these guys (or gals ) are sitting in the
seat, they need to be monitoring the critical parameters (altitude,
attitude and airspeed) whether on manual or auto.
