You have a good one.
iggy, whoa ! No, I don't assume that, and I apologise and meant no disrespect, but from your previous comments; including words such as 'slamming the thrust levers', I have to ask.
Surely, even on a turbulent approach you have the capacity to glance at the N1/EPRs when you see the speed trend arrow dip or overshoot? Surely you can see and hear and feel the engines spool up or down?
What, actually, do moving thrust levers tell you that the Airbus FBW family doesn't? Genuine question - I have flown both Airbus and B737, and cannot see any advantage in the Boeing system - for me, it added more problems than it allegedly solved.
