It’s a cockpit dating from the 1960’s. A 737 classic was the aeronautical equivalent of a record player, an NG is a brand new record player. The switches are very similar in appearance and location. Also, when I was learning to fly, the Chinese cadets were on a short leash and were the cream of the crop. I just saw an old friend who is CP at a flight school in Georgia with a primarily Chinese student body. The level of aptitude and discipline has gone down a few notches it seems. We laughed at this and said that a few years ago, this guy would’ve been shot at dawn in his uniform.
