All agreed
Pete ... guess I should've mentioned, for the benefit of those who didn't check my profile, that I fly a B200, which is a very flexible aeroplane - if somewhat slower than your 757!
autoflight ... okay, I've never seen that. I have the advantage of being in the tropics, where the highest temp I've seen is 36 celsius, with the average more like 32 .. by day. At this time of year ... we're in our "dry season", which is something not like "winter" elsewhere, and the temp never seems to get above about 28... brrrrrrrr
