Automation is definitely not the enemy.

However, automation that is designed in a criminally negligent manner is. People who create such designs should be put in prison, and we should not be using products from them ever again.

Have fun using any product. If your company gets big enough the probability that one of its products was faulty because of negligence slowly approaches 100%.

Any big company has a scandal, learns from it, the people that learned the lesson leave at some point, a new generation of employees makes a similar mistake again, wash rinse, repeat.

You probably can't fly any airplanes if you will not use any airplanes from a company that had a scandal like this.

AFAIK the automation had no good reason to be there first place, unless you consider racing Airbus for contracts a good reason. I mean, the simpler the better especially when lives are at stake, right?
