Re: "Pilots have forgotten how to fly".
"Relying too heavily on automation systems may hinder a pilot's ability to manually fly the aircraft during unexpected events."
No surprises here other than how it has taken for those in official circles to see and commit to paper what is obvious to any normal person. Take any occupation that requires a high-level of skill and training to maintain that skill then simply make these people sit and watch; it doesn't take long for thinking and reaction times to degrade.
