Yep....not a lot of button pushing in the 170.... just alot of making sure the buttons are still in their AUTO position so that "system logic" can do it all for you. We actually do mess with the hydrauilic pumps a bit.... and well we still turn the lights on and off...... and well there is TONS of button pushing with the FMS and Guidance Panel ......Embraer was nice enough to put a couple of yokes in the cockpit but I am not sure why.... between the autothrottles and everything else its a flying PC.

All kidding aside it is very very automated and "the company" encourages the use of automation to the fullest.......

As for CMH.... i am on the Shuttle cert and just got CMH.....you can have my slot..... just as soon as they let my rebel butt back to ATL....

p.s.......SIM 6 tonight.....oh and squeezed in between or 11pm to 3am sim last night and tonights 11pm sim ....we have the oral portion of our checkride.... hum.....what was that limitation again.......
