With such recent history, perhaps PIA's operating certificate should be revoked (or at least be prohibited from flying outside of Pakistan) pending review of their operating fitness.

So perhaps this accident will prove as a bellwether to future aircraft systems design . . to incorporate more automation or / less? To trust human ability more or / less?

"It takes just a second or two to push the disconnect button or flip the switch" . . . and that's one reason why the engineers attempt to automate these things in the first place, so to bypass a state of "human pondering delay".

So we now add PK-8303 to our young century's growing list of major crew induced fatal accidents. That along with Atlas Air Flight 3591, Germanwings Flight 9525, Asiana OZ214, Colgan Air Flight 3407, and many others (Ethiopian Flight 302?-perhaps that one is a tie). Such accidents promote the coming future of crewless, fully automated airliners. Go ahead- vote me down!
