guess you have never had a whiff of oxygen in cruise at night and seen what effect it has on the eyes.

BA 747 - why did they declare a mayday into egcc if they new what they were doing.
Didn't say they put full back pressure on the stick for 30 secs but I have witnessed pilots unintentional inputs when stressed.
Often in sailplanes had guys push right rudder or both when they thought they were not going to stop.
Never witnessed a anyone take the autopilot out in cruise at night to hand fly it - but then again I only worked for three flag carriers.
But then again we had SOPs which said we weren't allowed to fly manual if CWS was available - same with A/T on several types.
