A glass cockpit would be nice but since it will probably be online long before most of the fleet aircraft have them save some of the new 60s those kids are going to be really dissapointed when they hit the fleet.
Flight schools job is not to teach "war fighting basics" in any way shape or form. You claim that HTs produce commercial level pilots and nothing more, I disagree. HTs do what they are supposed to do, produce a guy with basic aeronautical skils: insturments, form, basic monkey skills and serve as a screening period that's it.
The HTs are not equipted or informed on the the day to day tactical changes to even attempt to give a grounding in "basic warfighting"; and what form should this "warfighting" training take: the missions are too diverse across the spectrum of Naval Aviation.
Dont look to the Army as a model on how to produce Naval Aviators.
