what would you suggest?

--when the company that pays my check, states that any ceiling below 1000 -we must use the auto landing?

i think it is stupid, but there you go--two stupids won't make a right. (ignoring the company ops specs)

they also tell us to put 10 degree bank when above 30,000 feet because some idiots couldn't tell when they could and couldn't bank twenty five degrees without getting into the stick shaker at altitude, so they 'dumb it down' to the lowest possible denominator. the horror they must feel when cleared to FL300!!!!????

also, 250 knots below 10,000 when descending, (allowed climbing) because some idiots can't manage their aircraft energy.

we are forced into becoming less proficient.

we do what we can--but i can still see the degradation of my own skills-i am such a slut--to keep a good paying job.
