Wrong again. Sometimes FR can be a bore when folks spout off about things they know nothing about. You have no clue. I am an Airbus Captain at the largest airline in the world. I’ve flow nearly every modern airline type. If the “autopilot” could do it all, what are they paying me 210k a year for? I’d love to wrap someone like you inside a level 5 TRW and let you barf your lungs out. Cheers.

One would hope that future flight computer systems would have the good design to avoid dangerous thunder cells.. then maybe we could avoid the $210K (X2) per year expense.

I spent a few hours in a TAV-8B in the hands of a superb pilot at 5Gs or so. If that didn't cause me to "barf my lungs out" nothing will.

Automation is coming, Big Guy - and safer flight when it's ready.
