Chris Scott,
Thank you for your critique. My point related to the French FMS was that pilots who have made the transition from Boeing to Airbus have TOLD ME that, in many cases, they found the FMS switch/logic confusing. You were not privy to those conversations. Understood? Your opinion might differ from the 5-10 Airbus pilots who have transitioned from Boeing aircraft that I have talked to.
Additionally, I did not provide the "SAIL" Airbus cockpit video as an instructional video. Instead, I, and many others, find it entertaining and interesting - especially for those of us who use traditional yokes. The main pilot in the video clearly does not care about "proper form." And that's fine because the video (especially the descending left turn approach into Rio's Santos Dumont airport) was entertaining.
Cheers
