Maybe the customers who ordered it just didn't feel comfortable without a big handle thing between their legs to hold on to. <br />No table? What were they thinking?

But, I also might agree on the A330 and the women drivers.

The automatic and 'envelope' stuff is wonderful, but both seats still need to know how to drive it by hand, when necessary. I think that includes some 'cancel' and 'override' buttons at times. When something hits the fan, the engineers in Seattle or 'too-loose, France, won't be of much help. You must understand your machine and command/control every action. For those 'smart planes' like your A330, I suspect that women may be better 'pinch' drivers. One fine post and thanks! -C.Cedarglenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468497492189762095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-36267580346334674882011-03-24T19:07:50.566-07:002011-03-24T19:07:50.566-07:00YYC Dispatcher...
