Graybeard: The 777 is a 737 on steroids

I'm not too sure what you mean by that. The B777 is certainly a big aircraft, but the fly by wire gizmos make it a very benign flying machine, with far better handling characteristics than a B737. Boeing got the B777 right, straight out of the box, and were quite right IMHO to leave ultimate control in the hands of the pilot, not a possibly deluded box of tricks.
