You are referring to 'Flash' airlines out of Sharm al Sheik methinks.
And an increasing number of other accidents and near accidents where the crew could not control or did not notice the automatics had gone bananas. LOC is now the greatest killer - because pilots can't fly.

Sure it has to be at an appropriate time, but get on those controls and get that scan going again before you (and the pax close behind) become a victim of automation-capture.
