I can't imagine that either did dot push the A/P disconnect on the yoke.

Note: I am assuming there is an A/P disconnect on the yoke as on previous Boeing's.
Yes, there is. The 767 doesn't have "high tech" computer "augmentations." It's a straight-forward, easy airliner to fly. A/T easy to disconnect or override. Autoflight easy to turn off.
