I prefer Boeing to Airbus, with the exception of the 737.

I have flown 3 FBW aircraft, 777, 320, and the Hornet. They are all a bit different. Not right or wrong, but different.

As much as I like the sidestick, it has contributed to accidents, not the least of which was the AF 447.

When I first flew the bus, I was concerned that I couldn't see what the other pilot was doing. But at a major in the US, it was never a factor. Flying with 500 hour FO's in 3rd world countries, it was a HUGE factor. You cannot see what they are DOING, you can only see what they DID.

I haven't flown in the back of the bus for over a year. I just flew a leg a few days ago. I forgot how roomy and quiet it was compared to Boeing narrow bodies (including the 757).

I don't know how we can try to sell a premium product when the products we sell is below average.

Overall, at UAL, I would much rather fly the bus.

And this does not even take into account that I can eat my meal like a human being, on a table, and pee standing up without the toilet seat flopping down.
