I find the 777 cockpit to be small for a widebody. Even the 78 is kinda small. I have jumpseated on both trans Atlantic. Space is king on long flights.
So it’s a space/bunk thing. Ok. I guess if that’s the definition of “superior” than the Bus wins. I think I recall that the 747 had bunks in the cockpit too.
I’m sure the airlines define it in a different way (fuel savings, range, etc.) Lots of research goes into what fleet for who. AA is Boeing heavy for their own reasons, but from what I’ve heard I believe the Boeings have better range. Whereas the Bus probably has better fuel burn. Who knows. Guess we’ll probably find a thousand different reasons.
I’ve been in the 350 sim. No doubt a nice ride.
