I recall times (this was the early days, mind) when some pilots found themselves wrong way up they resorted to engaging the FD (HDG/ALT) to recover control.
This usually happened during our (cough, cough) "night VFR" slinging operations in the Canadian Arctic. Usually it just made things worse because swinging loads confused the hell out of the stabilization system.
But it also happened sometimes with passengers.
As an ex-Chief Pilot I must say the idea that we have people in this industry who will give up a just "push buttons" scares the hell out of me.
I surely appreciate the wonders of modern technology, but you still gotta be able to fly the rocket.
If you can't, or won't, you are in the wrong job.
