As I understand it, planes are largely automated but the automated components will always defer to the pilots whenever action is taken. I would hope with the amount of training required to do that job that the pilot would be the half of that equation to defer to.

As I understand it (but I am not a pilot), that's true of Boeing planes, but not true of Airbus. Airbus makes the pilots defer to the automation.
