Again, just like the disappearance of manual line flying, basic airmanship has evaporated off the syllabus of the Brave New Button-pusher of tomorrow. Just "suck-it-up" they used to tell me. "This is the real world."
Well, the real world sucks.
Oddly enough, in my airline, the 'brave new button-pusher of tomorrow' has not yet arrived.
I don't care if we are delayed, we do what is necessary.
Management backs me up,
every time.
Case closed.
