not only that but it DOES wear the knobs down faster too. They think they’re doing everyone a favor but no so much.

I’m in the small cadre of LCA that are in 787 class now. The Dreamliner’s MCP knobs are beefed up and thus will wear out at a slower rate. At least that’s what Boeing is telling us.

It’s an option but of course we didn’t get it. At least that’s what our instructor says.
