What’s the topic for this thread again???? Talk about crazy thread drift....
How’s the Longitude launch going? I thought we would see more of those birds on the ramp by now. With the Latitude’s success, I am hopeful the Longitude will benefit from some upsell opportunities.... I suspect current Latitude, X and Sovereign owners will be impressed with it.
Question: how senior will the Longitude FO position likely go?

Pilots having trouble with the automation modes and having the plane not doing what they wanted it to do, need more training too. Hand flying cannot always be the solution for a pilot not "confident" with automation. Garbage in, garbage out. It's really a glance of both, fly the plane the way it was designed to be flow and have the hand flying skills when a situation requires it, be it automation system failure, or emergency avoidance of threat.
Exactly. Everything in moderation.

I have said all along: Auto throttles are like any other automation. You need to turn it off from time to time. Yet you repeatedly said auto throttles make for lazy pilots when the same could be said for autopilots. Go back and read it all and you'll see.
Oh, how many A/T equipped aircraft have you flown? I flew my first one 20 years ago for a few years straight and have since flown many types without A/T. My current type has them. No problems with the switch in either direction

It seems that Textron is doing some final tweaks prior to NJA taking delivery of a BUNCH of them simultaneously. I’d look for the X to stand down quickly afterwards.
Sim is up and going through finals in CMH. By all accounts, the jet should prove worth the wait.

Some 1st year pilot posted on one of these NJA threads that he was going to make around $150K 1st year. But that was by maxing everything out, working the 76 day schedule, Long Tours, getting a lot of FDP, etc. $100K is definitely doable.
