But you haven't walked down the sidewalk in the capital of an un-named but related country to the south, and seen 200 locals with their finger, deep in their proboscis, 2 knuckles deep, simultaneously. At least in China, it is an individual, and not a team, sport. Spitting, however, IS the national sport.

The first one, N889UA isn't online yet. Looks like it's at INT for something. Probably those awesome slimline seats or something. 😂

IT could develop a special training module that would simulate the changes in the FMGC. For those not comfortable with the training, they could arrange a paid trip to TK for an hour of hands on simulator time.

Or, we can just spend about 5 minutes reading the differences (which are very minor).
And that, my novice friend, is how it should be. It's how ALPA made our profession the envy of the pilot world. Train to proficiency or train to minimal standards. Which is the safest course?

It's the same airplane, but with no direct to>insert. How much hand holding do you need?

In China, gutter oil IS the good stuff. Don't ask what they feed the farmed fish that they display in live tanks at restaurants.

flys great, looks shinny.

AP/AT seems more aggressive, more like a pilot. noticed it seems to have a lower N1 at idle in flight allowing you to get down a bit quicker.

easy, no extra pre-studying needed, still a bus. only a few deferrals on it.
