For starters, what does this have to do with the Southwest meltdown, which seems to have been caused in large part by a lack of automation?

- femiagbabiaka 4y agoIt would be a mistake to suppose that more automation would have resulted in a different outcome. For example, an update to a critical system can also result in operator/interface breakdowns, leading to failures. In fact, according to some accounts, this is exactly what happened and it exacerbated things (some spreadsheet software was updated).
