That may be so PN, but if you check out all the to-ing on fro-ing on these forums and other similar outlets about the Air France A330 loss, then the decision to buy Airbus has already led to 'complete reliance on electronic wizardry'. When the chips are down, I don't see what intimate knowledge of the Dalton computer will bring to the party frankly. Or which navigators with previous modern glass cockpit wide-body flight deck ops did you have in mind? If integrating the MSO systems is stalling the aircraft's progress to usefulness, why are we bothering?
