What does a pilot do once auto pilot flies his plane at cruising altitude in good weather?
monitor progress of flight -
see estimates next few waypoints -
observe , score fuel progress -
negotiate better flight level (based on weight+traffic) -
report weather conditions atc -
report progress of flight (update eta) airline's dispatch center -
updated weather destination , alternates along route -
read (captains ww-2 airplanes magazines, co-pilots read playboy) -
in other terms = nothing , way-overpaid (as non-pilot people think) -
, easier when had flight engineer in cockpit -
