Hi CJ1234!
It was good to have you on the jumpseat.
As you could see it's not a big thing to fly the Embraer without autothrottles (sorry-"autothrustlevers") but it would be nice to have it anyway. Like this it would be much easier to read the newspaper
!
And the thrustbuttons give us also a kind of autosystem for the poor.
Yes, it is an awesome machine and well equipped, but I guess they had to leave a couple of things out, otherwide they'll not be able to sell the 170/190's!?
I still have your pen...
