Mr. Optimiistic

This is not the first time that the pilots' actions have been discussed. FPV, Flight Path Visualization, was selected well into ACARS, an act that requires volition of a conscious and attentive pilot. My guess at the time was to suggest that in addition to flying Pitch and Power due to loss of Pitch cueing, the Pilot Flying wanted the "bird", an object on the screen that can cue flight data in real time. At the time, there was argument whether there should should even be back up Attitude display, even with known episodes of UAS.
