You probably won't like this, but it's clear there is a generation of pilots currently responsible for hundreds of lives per flight, that know real well how to select the autopilot. Much else seems a bit of a challenge. Worry, much.

Clearly, Boeing and their Good Ol' Boys are culpable here, but, [FWIW=0] I have completely lost faith in the supposed competence of the unseen pilots behind that door, and I'm not going to fly anymore unless it's an absolute necessity! Too much of a gamble. Apologies to the 100s of thousands of you who ARE competent and responsible.
