Well, haha, I.. no I don't clap for waitresses, I don't even clap for strippers. I don't expect people to clap for me I just don't get why people clap for bad landings on the airlines more than the good ones. And unlike the airlines, I do have to land on my own... Anyway yes modern aircraft do essentially fly themselves but the pilots are there for when shit goes wrong. Well that and for planning purposes so it goes right to begin with.
