That worried me too - especially when someone replied, implying that 'all 737 pilots know about these switches' - as if that made it safe. Oh please - surely this is Engineering Human Factors basics - that is a way to guarantee some poor sap will get it wrong. Unless there is some overriding reason why they MUST be the other way round, normal modern engineering thinking says don't do it = recipe for a mistake.
737 experts - please tell us that Boeing didn't do that - or if they did, can anyone explain or justify it?
