Is there any case for a common cab EMU control panel to be mandated so

cross training between various stocks is less of a chore in the same way
that all airliners by airbus (don't know about boeing) tend to have the
controls in similar locations no matter what the aircraft?

Just because they have similar controls doesn't mean you, the pilot,
can walk off an A320 straight onto an A380. Airbus do indeed tout
that possibility but there is a requirement for additional training if
only because of the increased weight and 4 engines. Not only that
but the differences between early A320s and the latest neo models
isn't simply a matter of new engines; display systems in the cockpits
have moved on as well.

I would suggest that the continuous evolution of control systems means
that a single cab configuration, designed now, would be seen as
obsolete quite quickly

Not if Boltar was in charge, because he would have bought enough
aeroplanes for 150 years in 1903.

Oh do give it a rest. What exactly is the major advance in technology from
the 378s to the 710s? Very little I'd venture, perhaps a weight reduction
and thats about it. And I bet the seats in the latter will have all the
padding of concrete so will be less pleasent for passengers.

You don't get to tell the entire group to **** off and then have us at
your beck and call to answer questions that you've already been given
answers to in the last six months.

I've yet to here any technical details beyond "oh, they're better".
