French, or whatever...
Folks,
I remember when you could still get decent food, even on Delta, which means I'm speaking of the 1960s and 1970s.
We still have tons of good pilots, but with FBW fully accepted, how long are we going to have men and women who can really fly the craft by the seat of their pants?
[Before we flame this idea, I'm not saying that this is the way scheduled flights should be flown - unless there are circumstances like weather, aircraft problems, et cetera]
It seems like we're fastly approaching a point where anything not covered by a checklist might be a huge problem...
Any comments?
