Wiggy, funny you should mention the Physics and the Fortran 4. I did the same thing, except being older, I did the Physics first and went back for the Fortran 4 ten years later. Anyhow, are you going to tell me it will blow your mind to tell you that your Boeings are now C*U aircraft.

on a bad day a 'bus or even 777/787 should not be any more difficult to handle than a 70's steam driven type. . Make it any more difficult than that and on a bad night you're going to loose people ...did I miss something,?
No, you did just fine.
