I flew the 744 as FO for 7 years before I transitioned to Classic Captain. It took about 2 sim sessions to get my old instrument scan back. It took about 2 years to more-or-less figure out most of the quirks of all the various configurations we have. I still learn something new almost every flight.

The Classic hand-flys MUCH better than the 400.

If you can't "turn off the magic" and keep your Situational Awareness, you don't belong in the Classic.
