Only ever came across CWS in the TriStar. Didn't like it and, after playing with it once or twice, never used it again. If some pilots found it useful then fine but I wouldn't have been happy to have been told to use it as an SOP.
The thought of hauling on the control column until (unexpectedly) the a/p disengages - bally heck!
p.s. I do appreciate that, on this occasion, it had been disabled.
