BM, where do you get the 90%+ autopilot usage figure from? Also, given the originating post, how do you come to the conlusion that jordan needs to improve his handling/airmanship skills? You have no information regarding his experience level and are just making a crass and rather offensive assumption. Just a tad judgmental don't you think? And, given your purported connections in the airline recruitment world, I fail to see why you denigrate logged multi hours as a useful asset re future airline work, if indeed that is what he is pursuing. Perhaps you feel he would be better advised to spend his money on an F27 or Shed ARB? No offence old timer, just trying to be constructive.
