Wait... I knew that so well, but then they strapped me down, held my eyes open, and made me watch this video that just kept repeating "confirm, execute!" My wife says I wake up screaming it in the middle of the night.

Great question!
Confirm - your inputs
Activate
Monitor - is it doing what I expect
Intervene - It's not doing it - change the MCP mode or unhook while you get recombobulated.

We've got an entire module in recurrent this cycle on handflying with the automation off, then each pilot has to shoot a raw data ILS... and we're supposed to encourage more handflying on the line.

Is this the whole fleet, or just the girly French one?

I have a philosophy about people who call computers stupid(computers only do what people tell them to). Maybe I should come up with a new philosophy about people who think computers are smarter than people.

No wind checks needed on fifi! We have a system that protects the energy state to the runway via comparing inputted winds to sensed winds.
It's airline wide in response to recent accident and incident trends. However, the french plane has the highest autopilot use (and highest deviations, too), so it's even more emphasized with us.

Wait, even my company did that.
6 months between sim events? 6 landings between sim events.
