Lets just agree to differ. As a current jet captain (who gets to jumpseat on the bus from time to time and has a smattering of experience in workplace design) I believe I have an informed opinion. This is after all a professional pilots rumour network. Most of what is posted is opinion. What the last two gentlemen posted is their opinion (to which they are entitled).
I attempted to answer a question from Dozy in good faith. Clandestino deconstructed it in a way that made me smile. Not all he says is unreasonable. But I think most people would accept that it is a bit over the top.
Boiling it down to essentials, as a professional pilot I consider the man machine interface in the Airbus to be different from conventional aircraft (fact). Airbus say it is so and and frankly it is hardly a blinding insight. I have hypothesized about the role this played in some recent incidents/accidents (opinion).
I would be delighted if we could move on.
