You claim that my second post is indefensible and “a stupid idea period”.
Maui, not at all. You are defending the Boeing design feature that allows the ATS to stay asleep as the aircraft stalls. That feature was what I was trying to say was indefensible. The design of the ATS is a stupid idea. Almost as stupid as allowing the Auotpilot to be engaged on the ground prior to takeoff.
Fair enough pilots was supposed to be able to fly, but why oh why would you design the ATS like that?
As for your smart-arsed comment re WA, spare me the Big Jet Airways warries.
BTW, do you still have an IAS hold on the 717? Genuine question.
Please explain?
