in 2009, 228 people perished when air france 447 crashed into the atlantic ocean.estigators said pilots were completely surprised by technical problems. in 2013 when asiana flight 214 crashed in san francisco, the n.t.s.b. concluded the flight crew over-relied on automated systems they did not fully understand. three were killed, nearly 200 people were injured. michael barr is an aviation expert at the university of southern california. >> i think the public should be concerned but more realistically the f.a.a. should be concerned. the longer the pilot just sits there, the further he basically becomes a satellite to the actual airplane itself. it gets outside the loop. >> reporter: and we're not finding a lot of disagreement on this issue, scott. tonight, the airline pilots association told us the best and most important safety aspect of any plane is a well-trained, highly motivated, professional pilot. >> pelley: jeff pegues, thank you, jeff. so why are there two pilots on commercial airliners? well, listen to this. today, the captain of a delta airlines md-90 got
