There is a downside for newer drivers, too, in that those who have driven
mostly cars with ABS


It is rather difficult to drive anything else these days unless you are
a collector of "classic" cars.

Even then it takes only once to adjust to the new reality (for me that was
more than 15 years ago) and since pilots train for other than normal
circumstances while drivers do not, I see no problem with such a system
in aircraft.


Hmm ... does this rapid adjustment to reality apply generally?


Well, I've had this discussion with two other people from the same basic
age group, so for a sample size of three, it applies 100%.
