Also, the complete prohibition of many of the automation features of the 737 NG (autobrakes, RNP departures and arrivals, no autothrottle, etc) was painful to watch.
Funny...someone who jumpseats on us a lot would have probably noticed that the -700 six-pack EFIS displays have been gone for almost two years.
I guess it's "painful" to watch a pilot actually fly the aircraft instead of watching a pilot watch the automation fly the aircraft?
