Unhooked: 20 years ago there where no magenta lines to follow! Or were IRSīs and infact FMC around. A/C were certainly not as sophisticated. So, flying was indeed more challenging and that your navigation and flying skills were certainly more demanding! Having said that, thank god we now have, all the goodies that come with modern day aviation. And thanks to that, comercial aviation it s a lot safer. The argument is not, what pilot is suited for the modern day comercial flying but, what is the correct method of teaching and instructing them. Experience has been different for every generation, of pilots!
Anyway, be you an old timer or a the īnew generation pilot the MD11 is still a handfull!
