oh c'mon don't sulk....where did I say you should land wherever you want, violate tape parameters (??) or even anything about handflying? I never did...you did.
My statement was more along the lines of procedures (and the mentality that precedes them) being rigid to the point of absurdity. At some point perhaps we'll realize the time and energy spent covering our asses could be better put to use performing our jobs safely and efficiently. Then again, being the Gulf, I have my doubts.
In actual fact I'm too damn lazy to do a visual. But this idea that pilots shouldn't be flying airplanes...is that an Airbus thing or something?
oh...and I'm sure the GLA crew is kicking themselves, just wishing they had had you to remind them of the L1011...would have made the difference, I'm sure.
