Yes it has touch screen. Some switches are slightly different. Yes you get a sim. Mostly gonna cover MCAS and a few other things about LEAP.
It's not going to require 6 months of project pilot flying like for the 220 for example as some have stayed on here. UAL, AAL, SWA Alaska seemlessly flip from one model to the next in regular operations. The MAX ain't all that different despite what you think.
Yes, it is. Sincerely someone who flew and taught the MAX at a previous airline. Line pilots will
be able to switch no problem. But it’s definitely a much different machine NG to MAX then it is CEO to NEO. The first thing you notice is how much smoother and responsive it is compared to the NG. Think 75 vs 76. HUD is in the FMC instead of the dedicated HGS box. Some of the functions like AIII are different. It’s noticeably slicker coming down. Big screens but the actual PFD is somehow smaller. Let alone the 10 being a massive Frankenstein compared to the already lipsticked pig that is the 9ER.
