Pilots complaining about automation: several
Pilots unable to fly with all the bells and whistles and getting their ass handed to them when anything falls out of the ordinary: too many

You are not supposed to need all the “bells and whistles” to fly, a plane is a plane and a pilot is in left seat meaning to fly the plane. There are checklists and minimum equipment lists that state what is possible and how to handle failures and control.
You can not automate that, yet.
It's like adding a device making a steering wheel harder to turn because people are used to that (with more details, of course, but that's the general idea)
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Ask Boeing how that "cost saving" went
But did you know for 'General Aviation' (small planes flown for recreation and suchlike) there are around 300 deaths per year in the US?
