ViperBoys et al
I trained 50 or 60 active Dutch F16 chaps in AMS on MCC Courses.
5 sessions in FFS A320 and later in B737-800
An absolute delight, BUT as they all remarked on the last night at the mandatory WetBrief.
" Dude, we respect You civilians a bit more now"
The thing is that the A320 was easy for them, when they realized , NO 4 handed , lightning quick selections!!
The Boeing 737 they wondered about?
"Which Museum did You steal this rig from"
In short:
Civil aviation has gone backwards since say mid 1990s.
I suspect the latest events will do to Aircraft Design and Certification what 9/11 did to Airport Security.
Without any direct comparison intended from me, of-course.

PS There is 9 flap settings on the 737.
I rest my case.
