I take it you haven't flown a Tripler then?

All the stuff you highlighted is there because airlines want it that way, no doubt to keep initial costs down.

Boeing are well capable of designing all the aspects you pointed out and have done just that and more.

The only reason airbus have a more automated flight deck is that they came to the party late and had newer technology at their disposal.
