So how do you tail strike a computer infested Boeing beast? I thought that all the gizmo's on board would stop a sore @rse on rotation??????????
Ah ! Of course !
We all know, don't we, that pilots are overpaid monkeys and that "the computers" do absolutely everything involved with the flying of an airliner these days !
And if the pilots try to do something wrong, then "the computers" will prevent it.
Must be true - a jump seat passenger once told me ! And a pilot on "Airline" said so (what a ...........). Most significantly, what does the media say ?
Anyway, hands up (well - post a reply then) anyone who flies a 737 which TAKES OFF under the complete control of "the computer". I stand by to be amazed. I pull the yoke back at a variable rate, having first attained the correct airspeed, and using training, experience and judgement -- oh dear, silly me !
