I was thinking more like the Pixar movie Wall-e where robots do everything and humans are fat slobs that ride around on cruise ships unaware

Haha. It’s funny cause I thought about using that example instead of the assassin robot one. I love that movie btw.

That’s right! I forgot about that. Haha.

12 airplanes will be in service by summer 2022, the remainder in 2023.

I wish they’d keep the geometric descent for VNAV. Also, looks like they do indeed have a lot of work to do.

Yep, geometric descent is much better. Oh well.

Two words…..differences training. I agree though, it would be nice.

I thought that’s what they made memos and a LMS worth 7 minutes of pay for.

You rather it have geometric descent vs idle descent? Idle descent is way more fuel efficient

Geo VNAV is more efficient than slam idle descents across the board Trip. Plus its more "comfortable" for the pax in the back. the wing actually prefers it as well. Behaves well within its preferred region.

the idle descent logic being efficient - that is a fallacy going around the boeing camp that you've bought into.

Boeing has all the data to validate what I've stated What it really comes down to is cost. Its cheaper to run the slam idle profile versus the geo. Simple as that. Ergo we get the slam idle.

But what do I know.

You'll still be bringing in the fat stacks of $$$ at 73NA pay while I'm slugging it out in the trenches on the 7ERB side. So although an interesting theoretical discussion. You win in the end ;)
