...of course, this is all from a 145 guy who's still having trouble getting his seat exactly where he wants it.
Actually the 170 FO must be much more alert now that CHQ guys are upgrading to it rapidly. There is a strong tendancy to turn the auto pilot off and fight the auto-throttles for control. And this hand flying business? Didn't we get away from the 10 years ago?
