flying/operating an Airliner is more about
Flight Management and less about
Stick and Rudder.
lets say we are
Flight Management Humans(FMHs)...working tandem with the
Flight Management Computers(FMCs)
we command the comps...the comps command the airplane...as simple as that.
folks i understand the fire i am taking on this one...but we would do well to get over our bruised egos...and appreciate/pride on our roles in today's airline/transport cockpit environment.
in today's airlne/transport cockpit environment...our core/primary role is to operate as Flight Management Humans...working in tandem with the Flight Management Computers...stick'n rudder flying is the redundancy/peripheral role/requirement.
it was different in the past...it is going to be different in the future.
The only bruised ego here is yours, you haven't made one statement that was remotely accurate. If you're over the age of 18 and not writing this from your parents house or a dorm, I'd be floored. No professional can possibly be so wrong, and have such terrible writing and grammar to go with it.
