So yeah, forgive me for asking about whether another large airline that doesn’t even have the option due to equipment or Ops Specs/Training. Thanks to the other couple folks for answering the question.
it kinda goes with SW didnt even have auto throttles 10 yrs ago because they were so cheap they took them out and sold them. That with one FMS and the 6 pack of gauges to keep the NG and classics the same.
basically SW will get auto land maybe next millennia
