As for the A320, The Associated Press reports that more than 50 of the aircraft have suffered episodes resulting in multiple electrical failures since the aircraft entered service more than 20 years ago. Half of those episodes resulted in the loss of five of six cockpit displays. One such instance aboard United Flight 731 in January 2008 resulted in loss of cockpit displays and radios. None of the incidents have resulted in a crash.

Why do you even need all those displays on the Airbus?
I thought the airplane insists on flying itself until you can see the ground again.

I'm not gonna read back 10 pages to see where this discussion originated, but all the 320's have the mod and the memory item is no longer a memory item and we can now fly with the dome lights off. Memo just came out in the last few days FWIW.
