Backseat bus time doesn't count

Precisely. I do the same amount of hand flying on the Bus as I did on the 76, and ultimately you operate them much the same way. Program something into the FMC, take off, hand fly till you get sick of it, drive it around on the automatics using whatever modes seem best at the time, disconnect, do some more hand flying, land, go and have a beer. If I ever have an urgent need to exceed 60 AOB, then I'll be cursing it as much as IsDon. Until then, the differences are a little exaggerated.
