That was my point and I totally agree with you. The BIG PICTURE is so much more then spending all day staring at a pretty multi coloured EFIS or ND display. I was being flippant and I apologise.
Anyone who thinks that the flight deck authority gradient is a function of the instrument fit is talking out of their vent and needs to spend some time on line. Authority gradient is more to do with the personality of both crew members and has very little, if anything to do with instruments and even less to do with gender!
Is the mumbo jumbo in this article seriously suggesting that graduates of modern FTOs cannot reliably and accurately interpret a good old fashioned HSI or RMI. And if they can they will be at the bottom end of a very steep authority gradient?
