The Airbus might be a more comfortable pilot friendly machine, but a 737 isn’t that bad, it gets the job done, and it makes money. It is still a pressurized and air conditioned work place with autopilot. I guess since this is just a dollar per day job for me I have a different perspective.
So you haven’t flown it....
Would you rather be stuck in a 6 hour traffic jam in IAH in the Summer in a ‘74 Super Beetle with a manual, or a 2009 Cadillac Escalade?
