I'm in agreement with you there sleeper. No disconnects in 19 years, and a lot of uneventful arrivals that might have finished in G/A if I'd chosen manual. LEDERHOSEN, I work for an Airline that some on here would accuse of lower standards, and I can assure you I have not, and never would attempt an Autoland without reading the appropriate notam or Jeppy sidenote. Maybe that is why I don't mind to Autoland and you do. Incidentally a previous poster said AEA encouraged crew to Autoland , so I think this is a likely scenario, contrary to what you have stated.
