> A lot of people will likely wonder: “isn’t removing stick and rudder skills going to make worse pilots”? Short answer: no. The core of what makes a good pilot isn’t stick and rudder skills; it’s good decision making and risk management. I find it's easiest to just ignore this mindset. These are the people who claim that a manual transmission is "real" driving. (Unlike the people who enjoy driving stick and aren't snobs about it.) The market will favor you and everyone else will see those people as snobs.
