There an AirFrance (Airbus) flight a few years back that crashed over the Atlantic that was partially the result of a stuck pitot tube. I remember at the time one of the debates was how automated Airbus planes were over Boeing. Pilots seemed split as to which system they preferred, but generally wanted more control, not less.
