5. Cockpit size is no factor, the seats are the same size.....if you get up and walk around, you're not confined to the Fight Deck!!

Bring on the P8 I say...and all operators should get some!!!
Well, flight deck size is a factor, the P-8's will be the same size as an E-3, which is very cramped. In no way does seat size make a flight deck seem spacious or a comfortable working environment. I wouldn't fancy tooling about on 2 widely spaced engines at low level over the sea either.
