There is no hope of any meaningful changes world wide following the Airbus presentation. Or any other of the hundreds of similar presentations over the years. Lots of talk, of course - but SFA after that.

Not when you consider at least major airline in China requires its first officers to wait for five years before they are given a take off or landing during line flying. Or another nearby country that forbids its 737 first officers from conducting take off and landings and also non-precision approaches, until 1000 hours on type.

I never thought I would see the day that I would give up talking about the subject of degradation of manual flying skills v automation dependency. But ethnic culture with all its deadly pervasive influence on flight crews will never change. Time to change the subject and smell the roses, methinks..
