Thanks for the comment. Fortunately we in the military (British at any rate) don't have to worry about electric jets. We still have proper aircraft that require a pilot input!!
None of that modern electric stuff for (the majority of) us.
We are all aware that in the airline world the captain sits in the LHS, but fortunately many in the military world are not quite as hidebound.
Not too convinced about the air law bit, sounds a bit like a red herring to me.
