According to you since the whole thing should have been automated, no
intervention should have been necessary. The flight should have
autolanded safely.

Anyone who knows how the automation works would know why the Helios
flight would not land safely on its own.


I know how it works (I've flown 73's in the past, BTW) and I know why it
crashed and I alsop know you';re talking straight out of your ass.

You can dream about the fateful day when you save a flight all you want,
but the fact is you are the last person a pilot trying to talk down an
airliner with a stricken crew would want on the other end of the
headset.

But for comedy value, I'd just love to see you stand up whne the cabin
crew asks "Is there anyone on board who can fly a plane?"
