It seems that Capt. Chesley Sullenberger said that the book, "Fly By Wire," by William Langewiesche greatly overstates how much it mattered" that the Airbus A320 featured an automated cockpit....The author being the son of the famous Wolfgang Langewiesche of "Stick and Rudder" fame...I'll reserve judgement until I read it but it always seems that people want to take away the pilot's skill and experience from the equation...link below:
