  It has more to do with the introduction of Crew Resource Management than anything else, many airlines still fly 30 year old aircraft without fancy automation. Recall AF447 where the over-reliance on automation caused a tragedy when it failed and of course the MCAS debacle where the automation was directly implicated. There is room for a more nuanced answer here.

    > many airlines still fly 30 year old aircraft without fancy automation Those planes have been retrofitted over time or are in significantly decreasing use for passenger aircraft. Over reliance on automation is an issue, to be sure, but in the macro sense, it is one part of a significant downtrend in fatalities.

    are you sure that X years ago airlines didn't fly 30 year old aircraft as well? only those planes were 30 y/o *at the time*?
