Question Are pilots losing their skill?

http://old.news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110...ots_automation

Are airline pilots forgetting how to fly? As planes become ever more reliant on automation to navigate crowded skies, safety officials worry there will be more deadly accidents traced to pilots who have lost their hands-on instincts in the air.

Are they forgetting how to fly? It's also interesting that 3 of the "recent" major crashes were essentially caused by poor pilot decisions.
