Jet 2 Compass Testing!
I couldn't agree with you more.
I was polling my airbus into Skiathos one night with the full 38kt crosswind and gusting thinking "If I could divide by fractions" I might not be here right now!!!
With nearly 20,000 hours who cares if I can't divide 16&2/7ths by 3&1/8th!!
Already had this conversation with parc over quite a few contracts. But at the end of the day everyone wins but the pilot! Management make the rules and we either play the management game or we are out the door. End of story!!
Rant over!!
