Sounds awfully like this would resolve to "need more training for older aircraft" ?
Next $1M question is of course, "what is an 'older aircraft'", 737-classic, 737-NG, 737-MAX, A320, A320neo ???
Think this will lead right back to the same problems it appears the industry has at the moment, with mfrs fighting regulators to reduce training requirements (as they do with certification) so their planes have a competitive total cost.
