facthunter Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Silly all right. The DC9 Nav and flight management system was about as good as that of the DC6 so if you are getting lost you are getting lost FAST... Portrayals such as this perpetuate the Myth that you fly just by pressing a couple of Buttons in the later stuff.. You do press buttons but you must understand WHAT happens when you do.. IF Airlines COULD they would dispense with Pilots because they don't like Paying for skills and experience and they are Jealous of what they think a pilot's lifestyle is The days of having ex pilots as Managers are long gone.

Nev The technology is well and truly here to enable airlines to operate without pilots, the problem is who would want to travel on a pilotless aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I beg to differ I was on topic and talking of the 'Inferences' inherent in the silly Pictures and the effect likely to be formed from the slanted message contained therein. Nev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
