The one, 'dinie' stated that, ".....i have 0 experience on the 737...". So, it seems unnecessary to ask a question about the FMC on a 737. Now, if 'dinie' is going to transition to the 737, his question will be answered.

Yes, you're right: "Some times less typed is far better than uncalled for comments..." However, I'm not sure I would call my reply, "uncalled" for. What is the point of supplying the info you supplied? I'd say that was excessive and uncalled for as well.

"DCATE! As a highly qualified and experienced 737 pilot and instructor myself I think your attitude stinks!!! Often I find I need to consult with others about obscure questions I get in my job and in many occasions the answers are difficult if not impossible to find in Boeing manuals! The whole idea of this forum is for pilots to be able to ask intelligent questions and get intelligent answers. You attitude suggests that you need some serious CRM training! Many of the inter-relationships between FMS, auto-pilot and autothrottle are a bit vague at times-- I look forward to reading more questions on these subjects and thus improving my own knowledge!"
From the top: I'll use some after-shave. I was rated on the 737 as well, and being an "instructor" by no means makes you any more qualified that I was. I had an "instructor" try and kill me and my flying partner in an airplane once.....a 737! The answer to the question asked by 'dinie' would surely be available at his airline.....IF he is with an airline at all. He did not identify his position. Any airline ground school that doesn't have an answer to a question like that isn't much of a ground school now, is it?
As to CRM, one of my airlines started it.
