Just a quick one.
There seems to be an assumption that I "like" automation and unmanned aircraft.
I don't. I loath the things.
They suck the fun out of life.
I left airline flying because I enjoy flying and being a pilot. I now fly a real old school aircraft again that needs me.
No autopilot
No ECAM
No TCAS
No EGPWS
No CVR
No ACARS
No magenta line
No mode S
No weather radar
What I don't do is fool myself that I'm better than automation.
Thankfully, since there are not that many of us left that can fly without the toys I get paid very nicely to do it!
