I've said this before. The FMC is not required (and Boeing does not have 90 degree options). In a premeditated event the whole scenario can be done on a mobile phone or ipad using an FMC app, then HDG SEL used to navigate by. It does not need pilot training to do that. Just follow the yellow brick (magenta) road. VNAV is the difficult bit.
