Haha indeed, just giving ya some crap. At least you can really claim to still be “flying” the B737 yourself since it isn’t fly-by-wire. Otherwise you could technically claim that the computers are doing the flying by interpreting the inputs

I respond in jest. I realize Alex was also posting in jest.

Having watched the boeing FMC software attempt to descend while coupled to the autopilot and autothrottles many times I think we are all better of with a pilot onboard. Like with all forms of automation we aren’t quite to the level we need to be to fully automated yet. Also, we wouldn’t need MCAS at all if there were no pilots. It’s there for us, not the other way around.

Me thinks I operated swa3158 not deadheaded.

Jetlink, looks like you deadheaded home on swa3158.

got about 20 miles in after two trips to load the car with mulch. Stopped on bike at Menards to get a weed puller tool, strapped to rear rack and rode home.
