The bus sidestick is nice & out of the way, but some like a big yoke to hang on to. Personally, I love having a tray table and not having to do gyrations to get seated around the yoke.

The CRJ is a nice bird but long in the tooth for avionics and missing the joys of autothrust. It does have a very logical overhead, just like the bus.

Even the bus is old school in the avionics (and don't get me started on it's crazy FMS) when compared to the Gulfstream 450/550 planeview system.

But the G birds look like a 737-200 in the overhead and are really old school in systems management. Got smoke in the cabin? Get out of your seat, march thru the smoke to hit the rear cargo door seal deflate valve conveniently located on the baggage compartment door!

I'd love to get my hands on the new Falcon 7X to see if it was as modern as the CRJ/Bus in the overhead and if the Easy avionics setup was really the same as the Gstream planeview. If it is what the hype suggests it will be a sweet bird.
