The list of authors of the article has five names from Boeing and two from Airbus. That is understandable because it's a Boeing magazine. However, more generally, it seems to me that it is always Boeing who takes the lead in these inititiatives. Is this perhaps an area where Airbus could make an effort to match Boeing?
Is this where ignorance is bliss ?
Have a look at this site, for instance
Smartcockpit flight ops docs
or check John Tullamarine's sticky thread " Useful websites and document references" in TECH LOG.
some knowledge in these two places.
and , of course, your hunch is wrong.
