Thanks heggo48,
No change then! CB cycling was essential to keep 'em flying in the early days, but we soon developed a list of CBs that could be safely cycled (and when), which was later incorporated into the QRH - as you say. I was wondering if the NG a/c might have hidden them (as seems to be the trend on later Airbus types?).
My slight frustration now is that, in all the years since my retirement (from the A320), cockpit visits have been forbidden, even for me in my old airline. So one gradually loses touch. Bit sad when I think of all the people I used to entertain during my career...
