There is a disturbing amount of lack of information from multiple companies in regards to new technology.

Airbus NEO is another. Noticeable control differences on rotate or flare that result in different techniques being applied. There are pilots out there who were not told of this prior to EIS. The issue they raised was that there is potential to get messy if handled like a ceo, and some did. Jetstar Pilots will see what I’m talking about when it arrives next year. If your not briefed on this ask the question. If your company knows nothing about it then you shouldn’t be flying it. Pilots and companies finding out new type handling characteristics as it happens in the air only leads to distractions. The first 50 feet isn’t the time to be second guessing yourself on handling characteristics.

You need to be two steps ahead of new technology it seems, not one.
