Yes that is a fantastic presentation. I spoke to Mr. High of exactly those same issues in regards to automation and the problems that it can cause, those exact things spoken about that I've seen crews experience while an instructor and check airmen on the B-777 and that I've experienced flying the line.

As usual and as expected he summarily ignored my input. You have to understand something about our resident know it all Mr. Skyhigh. In his mind he's got all the answers. He's never done anything wrong, it's impossible for him to accept blame for any of his actions and he refuses to listen anybody about anything. There was a poster on this thread who mentioned the term sociopath. I think there is some validity to that observation.
