O.k., that's fair - and also in fairness, I should point out all of my experience is with Boeing aircraft. We don't use any such systems. I've poked around on a few MD's since we "merged" and have not seen them on any of those, either, but I guess it's pretty presumptuous of me to say no one uses them.

That's the Chinggis Khaan Memorial outside of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. I was over there earlier this year working on a 767.
