At first elation, then relief, then self doubt, followed by the fact that you had just faced your own mortality, and you look at your family and be grateful.
A simple question; how do you imagine the pax feel during an incident like this? I and my family experienced an in flight situation on an ME based airline which was most certainly not normal, and this was not helped by the lack of information / reassurance from the pointy end.

To this day I can imagine the PNF sleeping in his left seat, whilst the PF (an individual from the sub-continent) tried to work up the courage to decide whether to:
1.Wake up the PNF and ask him what he should do.
2.Try to figure out which buttons he should press to correct the situation.
Apparently he did neither, because we rocked and rolled all over the sky intermitently until we reached KUL.
Not a very pleasant or confidence buliding experience I can assure you.
Automation is fine, but it should not be regarded as a substitute for human skill and intuition, which no machine or computer can ever adequately replicate.
