The Days of Pilots actually being taught and understanding real aircraft systems is long gone.

I remember being in a 727 class in Miami at a former Airline.
We had electric circuit boards, hydraulic boards, pneumatic boards and Power plant boards. We learned every switch, valve, light, circuit etc. We are now in an environment where we are Trained gives us just enough to pass. When I finished Ground School, I knew that Airplane forwards and backwards.

Can you imagine when we all convert to the 9/18 cycle? I cannot wait to read the "Reportable incidents" in a couple of years.
