The Boeing 747-8JK cockpit is what?

The Boeing 747-8JK cockpit is filled with pretty buttons and switches.

Please leave me alone, while I take some Advil and  lie down to have a good refreshing cry.

Why cry? It's a simplified layout, mechanical and unhackable, unlike Airbus's fly-by-computer systems. Besides, I'd rather be in one of these than an A380 any day.

Elders root for Boeing

Save some Advil and good refreshing cry for me, Snoopy.

I didn't mean the plane, only the headline...

I am with you on this issue, Pisa. The best plane is the one standing at a terminal, with me outside of it, preferably at the bar.

Just stay out of the Airbus 330, until they figure out why AF 447's elevator was stuck in the up position.

And other things too.

Well, they know the airspeed-indicating pitot tubes froze. Aren't those things heated?

They are as far as I know, but he older version used on that flight wasn't heated sufficiently, probably.
