Yeah, and it's a yaw damper, silly. And really has noting to do with making your point that pilots don't fly airplanes. Do you know what a yaw damper does?

On my Capts IOE the checkairman had me turn off the autopilot, flight director, and auto throttles, and do a visual into Philly. That's one of the things an airline pilot needs to be able to do. You know, we can still go without the FMC, the autopilot, the flight director, a yaw damper, the autothrottles, ect. (just not all at the same time). You can't tell the Chief Pilot, I can't go cause the autopilots defered and I'm not comfortable with hand flying. That would be a laugh. I can hand fly the jet as well as you can hand fly your 150. The automation just makes it so I don't have to all the time.

"Put most of them in a Cessna 172 and they would kill themselves in short order."

Unsubstantiated gross exaggeration. I know this not to be true from personal experience.
