I've re-read post No. 80 and am still appalled.
Nearly all the pilots on the fleet were appalled too. Luckily we had/have a management that listen to the opinions of trainers and line pilots - oh no wait a minute, we don't.
This is a classic case of misuse of SESMA. The argument that banning the use of automatics leads to less low speed events is akin to arguing that if we don't fly at all we get no low speed events.
