The love affair with the FLCH button is a UAL thing and our FSAP stats puts us at the bottom of the industry. The other operators other than Asiana seem to have got VNAV figured out.
Let's not even have the discussion of the UAL embarrassments at LHR.

Oh whatever, some guys are so scared of FLCH or VS because you’re not “protected”. It’s kindof funny watching El Jeffe squirm in his seat because god forbid the VNAV isn’t being used. It is possible to use other vertical modes properly in certain circumstances.
What’s with LHR? You leave the hold and VS it down there. Never seen a problem with that. The Speed issue to 4 DME on the other hand...🙄
