You did. Takes some getting used to, but it's a pretty cool device.
It controls mostly the MFD, but can also be used to scroll through the EICAS messages if needed, or even tune NAV/COM frequencies of the PFD.

I also liked the side view / vertical profile thing on the MFD.

Pretty sure all Honeywell Epic aircraft have some sort of CCD. Just depends on the platform for how much it is used. In the EASy Falcons we use it a lot, we don't even have MCDUs.

That is an older one, EASy II has SVS and some other new stuff.

My feelings exactly. When I was an f/o I flew the shuttle almost exclusively because those 4 days tend to pay anywhere from 22-24 hours vs 20 maybe 21 hours for a non-shuttle trip. I'd rather make more money for being gone the same amount of time.
After 2 years of doing probably 80% of my flying between the same 4 airports (PHL, BOS, LGA and DCA) it's autopilot on at 1000' and off after the 500' call. Makes life easier.

One of the things I really like about the type.

I'm the same way. Just finished up a 25 hour 4-day. Hardly flew due to all the cancellations though.

I was lucky to get on. It seems Yooo-nited's regional operations take a severe hit during any IROPS at EWR.

My favorite were the "I hate the shuttle!" Captains I'd fly with. The looks on their faces when I'd say " Oh so you like having to fly an extra 3 days a month to get the same amount of credit because non-shuttle trips are less-efficient?", were hilarious. Uhhh, well, uhh, you know I had a PIT layover last week! Classic.
Wait, what?

They offload basically all of their cancellation risks to their regional partners, it would seem. I mean, they shut down XJT CLE, full stop, two (?) years ago when the weather tanked.

Definitely. Cleveland is nothing....Try EWR.
A line of wx planned to come through in the summer and the whole regional schedule will get torpedoed. Same with winter storms...A day or two of flying will get cancelled. Unacceptable not to have cancellation pay if you'll be frequenting ewr as a UAX carrier.

Happiness is V1 in Newark with a takeoff alternate.
It was a question. Is that how many days off a month you are guaranteed?

No, man, it's "Do they speak English in What?"

The thread title is misspelled. I've listened to enough liveatc to know that it's pronounced "embree-ayer".

I was actually chastised by a CKA at our current shop Hacker for doing this very thing. TIMBRS4 into PDX , Left high and fast, cleared for the visual 28R and oh btw look out for the MD-80 landing on the left side. Eff it, I clicked off the AP and hand flew it. It was a beautiful thing. During the debrief I got a lecture on how my knowledge of the automation was "weak" and how come I just didn't FPA it down 3.5 degrees to intercept blah blah blah.. I was astounded....
