So does Bandaid....Boeing certainly isn’t synonymous with innovation in the 737 product line.
Virtually everything is better on the A320 except the the brakes. Not for their stopping ability but the cooling requirements. For those without cooling fans anyway.
Recall system = Joke
Climate control = Garbage
Noise level = it’s rare to use any sort of headset above 18,000 on the bus.
155 knot approach on the 900ER = Redonculas
FMA = About as intutitive as a toilet with no seat; for pooping....
Hotmic system = They finally figured that out. 40 years late
Flight deck ergonomics = Apollo capsule
Crunching the numbers above and after flying both aircraft...... the 737 is **it compared to the bus.
I don’t mind flying the 73 but it’s not a better pilot or passenger airplane.
