Yeah, Japan has ruined me for public transit in the US and elsewhere. Clapping on a plane would just make me annoyed unless the pilot did something phenomenal in a bad situation or the like.
I’m no expert, but I’m fairly certain takeoff and landing is still fully manual. Autopilot only happens once you hit cruise altitude where the risk of crashing is very very low.
It used to be standard in Latin America.
I like it, it’s a nice way to relieve the stress of everybody being within a couple of seconds of death if the pilot fucked up.
You know what else is a nice way to relieve stress? Low noise environments.
Latin America and “low noise”…
