I like to know that when I make a control input, the input is transferred through a clever combination of wires, pulleys, cranks, control rods, hydraulic pistons and actuators, toa control surface. I can't knock what I haven't tried, and maybe I belong in the ark, but I prefer computers and software to help and assist, not decide how to interpret what I've demanded.
I may well end up on the "electric jet", but at the moment, I'm glad I'm partnered with my trusty old Boeing.
Full marks to the Airbus crew for the way they handled this one. I only hope that given the same circumstances I would have reacted in the same way as that excellent FO.
I guess I'm just afraid of what I don't understand, and maybe that's why they put me on a Boeing (simple, like me).
