At the risk of repeating myself, who told you to fly the aircraft like that? That is not how it is intended to be flown. It is designed with speed stability, which means that an intentional speed change requires trim, like any non-FBW aircraft. So TRIM FFS. Like you’ve been doing for 20 years.



No-one is saying that. They’re just saying don’t expect it to trim to what you want. That’s not what it’s there for. Trimming is your job. Boeing designs aircraft for pilots.

So either be a pilot or go fly an Airbus. Believe me, you’ll have a lot more “why is it doing this” questions on an Airbus.
Why so agressive? I have used the trim to cancel out STS for nearly 20 years, without it I would need to trim much less.
I have just not bothered to see what it really does before now. What is wrong with that?
Keep defending a system that works continously against the pilot. Never had any other aircraft do that before.
I have never flown an Airbus. Why bring it into this discussion? And why are you implying that pilots who fly Airbus aircraft are not pilots?
Do you work for Boeing?
