Airbus trepidation... convince me otherwise!
You cannot acquire new experties if you are phobic. A320 is the most poular and preferred a/c in its category. Last year airshow A320 bagged more than 900 orders and its rival 737 nil, yes zero. I switched on to this FBW after being a 747 classic captain. Offcourse I enjoyed flying the big bird. I found absolutely no problem in change over because I carried no preferrences or prejudices in the new cockpit. Just open mind. Automatics are way of modern life. If you enjoy horse riding so much then stick to it. But you can always learn to drive a car. While learning new technique don't compare. When you acquire enough time on this one then you can. Enjoy the transition.
