it always turns into a bloody slagging match dosen't it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from a simple question about inticing overseas pilots to fly we get down to slagging the company for not having AP's.
MOR don't you think every pilot in EAG wants to have an AP for those days when your on your 8th sector? it seems this topic of AP's is just beatting a dead dog. We know we need them and we wont them but we aint going to get them. Because of this we have good SOPs which should keep everything inline for those days you talk of MOR.
I'm not going to bag automated flight decks but keep in mind that being complacent and relying on AP's can also get you killed coz the machine only does what its told.
