Plot a course, Mr. Mayweather

Here is a link to a picture of the flight deck of an Airbus A830, the largest passenger aircraft in the world:

Notice that the flight control sticks have been moved to moved to the side, to make room for the primary control - the laptop keyboard.

Note also, without comment, the two Windows-based displays in the front panel.

This is looking less like a plane cockpit, and more like the bridge of the NX-01.

I don't know what's more worrying: the sheer number of buttons or the fact that apparently you can shift the vehicle into gears like an automatic car. "Put the Enterprise into 'Park,' helm."
