That will get their hearts right with jets, for sure
I love this. I spent my first 16 years flying KC-135s and B707s. My last 10 was in the left seat of an A320 which I usually let the computer fly, but then I already knew how. Most of my FOs hand flew a lot since my airline encouraged it and the union demanded the right.
