One of the benefits to risk withering criticism during give & take on these boards, is opportunity to identify a lurking bias, in yourself. Unrealistic, disingenuous, expectation next gen cockpit crews instantaneously snap back on mothballed or partially developed skills 1st gen crews exercised routinely? Happened back then too, lest one forget. Anybody remember Galaxy 203? How envious I was when a mutual friend mentioned the FO got hired there. And how stunned, some months later, by the ominous tone of statements alluding to how his background & training indicated possible contributing factor in a second segment stall that claimed 70 lives.

There looks sufficient grounds for at least deliberate consideration as to gaps where B787 & A350 level, automation failures, are trained & checked. Moreover, regulatory overseers, if a proposed AOA design/display improvement performs decisively effective in comparative testing, isn't that what retrofit is all about?
