I used to do design work on intra-aircraft information systems. Commercial airliners are almost entirely automated; I’d be comfortable with the pilot taking off, immediately falling asleep till just before landing, then waking up to land. Even if they are awake during the flight, 99.9% of the time the correct action for a pilot is “let autopilot cook.” Even in those 0.1% other situations, the cockpit has like 15 or 20 different systems lovingly referred to by aircrew as “bitching betty” to sound loud annoying alarms and flash bright lights at the pilots if the any part of the plane needs attention for any reason.
