Sir: I think you nailed it! I too have twisted the wrong knob a few times and then had to make hurried corrections. It happens. These days, more often than not, I use minor
Manual adjustments for course, alt and speed, and then re-engage the auto toys. It is not kosher, but I like to see the rough results in place before I engage the automatics again.
Some FO's are horrified that I do not 'trust' the automagics, but after I explain a few prior errors, most get it. In another 7-8 months, I won't care, as I'm close to the absolute time-out. Again, sir, I think you nailed it.
