United Airlines on over-reliance on automation. I had discussions
with a NOAA captain a few years ago. The captain said that he often
gives his bridge crew a twist on many of the transits into or out of
harbors. For example, he would hide the radar from the bridge crew.
He can keep an eye on things and take over should something come up.
The idea is to make sure the crew is effective no matter what and not
dependent on any one technology to safely navigate. Or navigate only
with paper charts. And so forth.
An old video, but still very interesting. "Task saturating the crew" and using an autopilot to try to avoid a mid-air collision.
And this would be an under-reliance on technology... it's not the smartest thing ever to put yourself in the path of a feeding animal. Did these people have permit for this? Seems like even if they did, this is far beyond stupid.
