Virtually similar cockpit but so much different aircraft regarding the weights. One guy can enter 262 tonnes and feel very confident as it is pretty close to MTOW for the 340-
300 he may have flown the week before ...
Flying so different aircrafts but from so similar cockpits must be part of the problem.
Add up fatigue and that's when you turn complacent.
