Airbus does not recommend encouraging manual flight (Aerosafety World)

Drappier, the Airbus representative, added, Airbus does not recommend encouraging airline pilots dto fly the airline manually (during line operations) because the airline passengers have paid to get the maximum level of safety. Most of the time, the autopilot is the best route. That makes FSTDs the most appropriate practice environment, he said

Airbus is cleary against hand flying. Even after all the loss of control events, they think it is better not to hand fly.

Passengers pay to get the maximum level of safety: safe airplanes with safe pilots who are proficient in automation and hand flying. But he forgets the last part, the madafaka.

Why do they hate us so much?
