Not sure you would want to test that hypothesis on say 100 randomly chosen airline pilots
I would and if they couldnt handle it they shouldnt be there
I and I am sure many have had occasions when George has either died or is not playing ball.
When I was flying as a co on a Bravo Citation my Captain a TRE always insisted on hand flying short routes for maintentance positioning ie no pax below RVSM airspace. it was good for the soul
He had the habit of giving you the aircraft as SP just to load you, radios too
Flying as a Captain that training was excellent for the real thing at FL360 where the air was thin. Trust nothing !
A number of times in twins a doddle compared to the twice as fast Citations.
Dont rely on anything but yourself and that includes wives
10540 I am sure you are the hairy chest variety too
