CWS is still there on the NG, but have never seen anyone use it, in decades of flying. Most absurd system ever invented.
A bit like the 737 eyebrow windows, which have never been used by anyone since first flight in 1967. They are normally blocked off by safety cards, to stop the sun blinding the pilots.
And regards the speed-trim system, it ALWAYS trims in the wrong direction. Whenever it operates, you just trim it back the other way. Most absurd system ever invented.
