I’ll add a few cons:

The recall system…doesn’t work correctly more than half of the time. Absolutely a 1960’s design.

Loud…but correctable with a $1000.00 headset

Frost on the top of the wing…yes we need sprayed when no one else does.

Climate control is garbage unless it’s working correctly, which has been better lately…Tec Ops maybe.

900 needs more landing techniques compared with any other aircraft I’ve flown..you would rather fly 10 fast than 1 knot slow.


Forward galley is smaller than a regional jet.

Flight deck is smaller than a regional jet for that matter.

FO need to store bag in forward closet, where FAs stack their stuff on yours. In a 900 FO needs to swim upstream to mid cabin order to retrieve bag.

Toilet seat won’t stay up…saw someone write that up the other day! Must be their “thing”.



Every one of these is compared to other aircraft. When compared directly to a 320, the list could be much larger.
