E170/190 Angle of Attack

You assume it's already connected. Most of the time it's not, and when it is, I use VS mode for that phase to avoid leveling off.
Again, you seem to be trying to help me find my way (arrogantly, at that) to an answer to a question I didn't ask.
I guess I wasn't as clear as I thought. I didn't mean knowing them as in being able to recite them to me on the forum, but rather knowing them as in applying them in the cockpit. (Flight director aside, of course.) So, while flying, how do you set the correct pitch and power?
I said both things. I can only interpret the "no" to apply to both. So now that it's cleared up that you don't use the QRH every time you change pitch in normal fight, what about "TLAR and then fine tune it with the performance instruments?" First you said "no," but then you described how you accelerate to 300 in a way that's tantamount to the same thing. So which is it?
Only use the autopilot, don't bother learning the attitudes, (or any other aspect of flying the airplane) and enjoy life. After all, "we're not pilots anymore, but automation managers!"(Something said to me by a line check airman, with no hint of irony; he was in support of the notion.)
