I'm more concerned about tough XW inputs/landing with a sidestick vice a yoke - Any thoughts? I found something on the web stating the Bus limits AOB to 10 degrees in the landing mode?
Bid the plane that gives you the best QOL. Seniority, RONs, type of flying. If that's all the same go for the Bus. I've never flown the Bus but I have many hours in the JS. I've flown the 737-200,-400,-700,-800,-900,-900er for the last 20+ years. The 737 is a great plane but ergonomically inferior. The Bus has a great cockpit. Very comfortable and quiet. Lots of room for bags etc. the bus drivers can explain the weird hydraulic noises that come from the wheel well on the ground. The 737 cockpit was stolen from the 1950's (same geometry as the B-707 ) then candy coated over the years. Boeing should have redesigned years ago and made it like the 757. Rumor is that the previous technophobes at WN protested and because the were the largest 737 customer. Boeing decided not to disturb the 1950's cockpit geometry. WN guys chime in here for clarification.
