In this life, you have to think ahead to survive, not just on the flightdeck.

Just hit Ctrl-Alt and Del and all will be well. :)

Do you think this Boeing jewel has a software-virus protection .

Maybe in the future terroists will sit quietly at home by the internet, hacking some satelites and uploading a virus to the aircraft's computers via ACARS. Imagine you pull back your FBW stick and the aircraft pitches down because someone uploaded a virus!

No, its much more fun on the Airbus when all the screens either go blank or you get "please wait" and then when (if) after lots of bashing the computer does decide to play again, it has thrown out all that useful information you fed it hours earlier.
Of course, on the ground, if you can't fix your problem, you just have to re-boot.
Take all the power off the aircraft, wait a bit, then power her up again.
And you think I'm joking!
Still, skipper doesn't like that if you try it in flight...

For a start, maybe you'd consider putting the fuel levers back on.

Hey that's easy! You get the F/A to go back through the cabin asking if there is an Avionics Technician on board.
Then you pray. There aren't many around these days... :rolleyes:

The world's first fully computerized airliner was ready for its maiden flight without pilots or crew. The plane taxied to
the loading area automatically, its doors opened automatically, the steps came out automatically. The passengers boarded the plane and took their seats. The steps retreated automatically, the doors closed,
and the airplane taxied toward the runway.
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen," a voice intoned. "Welcome to the debut of the world's first fully computerized airliner. Everything on this aircraft is run electronically. Just sit back and relax. Nothing can go wrong ... Nothing can go wrong...nothing can go wrong...."

Looks like a 777 with a severe case of "The Blues"!
I guess it's times like these you really would appreciate those little analogue round-dial standby instruments which have been so carefully and completely engineered out of the latest flight decks.
"Anyone can make a mistake but it takes a series of computers to turn a well-engineered aircraft into scrap-metal."
