The temperature probe for the cabin is located inside an overhead bin, good luck trying to keep the F/A's happy...and what's with the "OFF" position on the gear lever?
It is fun to fly though.
I agree with you.
I've flown the 737-300, -500, -700, -800, & -900. They all suck. Putting "glass" in an old crappy airplane gives you an old crappy airplane with glass. The 757767 is a lot better and it is still old 70's technology. The 767-400 is better (it's basically a 777). The 777 is good, and I hope the 787 is even better.
