There is not so much enjoyment to be found in anything when you are desperately wishing you were in your bed. I and many others used to fly manual approaches, back before EASA FTLs and final assign, but in my experience it is very rare nowadays. Who knows, perhaps JSS will end up leaving us less tired again, and we will be able to return to the days of manual approaches?
Please avail the differences from the good old days to the days now with EASA FTL. I must be missing a trick here - you mean 3 crew ops iso 4 maybe? There are plenty of limits under EASA that are more restrictive than CAP371 your not missing the FE are you?
