And I and the Delta 767 captain sitting next to me were completely blown away...

The Junglebus sounds alot like the A320, in terms of automation!
Yeah...it's automated, but I don't think you're going to see any new planes being produced now that aren't as automated. SWA is even having auto throttles added to their fleet. Regardless, you've still got 76 people behind you and you've still got to get her down. It's been a blast so far...if you don't like the automation, fly her yourself! (I do have to say, the vertical profile option is amazing as well!!)
