Your'e wrong only because of our culture of shunning automation here. You would not beleive the trouble we had here trying to use auto-brakes and we still don't utilize them correctly. They still teach manual braking for RTOs but require auto-brakes for landing on wet runways. Many of our guys can't even join an airway with the LNAV or even extend a centerline for an approach. It will be a mess of astronamical proportion beleive me.
Now if you want to see a group that can really hand fly an aircraft or do mental math for speed and decents this is the one but automation ain't their forte'
Interesting. I had no idea thw SWA pilot group was so retarded. ...Just kidding!
