Very sorry DC-ATE, I just hope I make it to 20 years in retirement. We need the experience of guys like you.
My beef is more with youngsters who think the 737 is modern. When we were young we reached for the stars, even if we fell short. Now the kids are very happy with the old junk.
Seems I owe you a beer, or three. By the way, I loved the DC-8, second only to the Convair 880/990.
But, seriously, FBW is now the standard, love it or hate it. It's the old fly-by-cable which is exotic.
