All the 330's have the multiscan radar.

I wonder what kind of pilots we are going to get in the new puppy mill wave that's just starting.

I don't know but what I really don't get is why with the cost of flight training and college so ridiculously high is everyone in a tizzy about all glass everything from day one?

Problem is, imho, 100LL.

And 1977 172Ns still costing 75k. Not to be out done by Piper Super Cub types costing 300k and new 172s at 450k and a Baron at 1.3M.

At least they'll have an emergency descent button...

Not sure if it's ever required (?)
On our A350's the External and Taxiing Aid Camera System (ETACS) was an option and we didn't take it.

You should read AF 447 available online. Actually the elevator was neutral only part of the time. It was full nose up most of the time as the aircraft computers tried to put the aircraft into one G flight.

From Bill Palmer the acknowledged expert on A330 flight controls.

Sorry not sure if this was discussed already - the A350's also have auto emerg descent functionality. Although the first few aircraft will be delivered without, but will later be retrofitted.
