I'm a tool because I can't wait for 800' AGL so I can turn on the autopilot. My F/Os are all better sticks than me and make me look like a douche-nozzle (my new favorite derogatory term) in the sim.

The good part about that is, we finished our 4 hour sim in 2 hours, due in no small part to either my self-perceived intrepid aviating or his actual ability to fly while hog-tied.

I can't wait to get bumped back to the A-320 because the minimum altitude for engagement is 100' if all conditions are met, like being able to fog a mirror in one breath.
