Or Scandinavian 751, the pilot actually retired after that because he felt he could no longer trust airplanes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_Airlines_Flight_751 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_Airlines_Flight_7... Automation has made flying safer, as pointed out in the article you link, but we have entered a new era where humans can no longer trust computers nor fully take over control.

> the pilot actually retired after that because he felt he could no longer trust airplanes I don't know where that part comes from, it's not mentioned in the wikipedia page, nor any of the sources or on the swedish version of the page (together with the sources). Would be interesting if there really is a phobia of more technically advanced airplanes, but I don't think this is one of those cases.

  They talked about in one of those crash investigation show. There are research done in this domain, but unfortunately can not find the reference right now. Basically, even though there are less and less airplane accidents, a common theme now is the pilots saying "I don't understand what the plane is doing". PS: This is the pilot in question, there is a reference to the "Mayday" episode where he is interviewed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_G._Rasmussen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_G._Rasmussen
