Agree 100% Flightmech, Peter has done so much to explain things never with a hint of malice.

You are an army of 1 here
I am afraid SFLY you need to understand that two or three pages ago everyone was praising Peter Birkill & crew, all of them well known current pilots and you come along and the whole thread went back to the "what if's" or "I know better" which has besieged this thread from day one.
If Mmmayday38 does respond, will you accept what he has to say then leave it alone for a while? SFLY my understanding of the words "good result" seem to differ from yours. BA038 ended up a great result considering all the circumstances in those 50 seconds or so the crew had to handle!!! Who cares about when the AP was switched off, you have to agree with the principle that a pilot with a lot of hours under his belt on a triple 7 knows the the feel of the AC!
This has been discussed over and over again. Someone said "humanity" please also keep this word in mind, pilots are not machines with AP switches implanted.
