I have 5000 hours in the Airbus. Never actually flew it. Lots of managing however! I did have a friend who flew it for a hour when they ended up in direct law. Said it did not fly well! I enjoyed flying every Boeing I have worked. The 737 flew great, later models have better displays than the Airbus and the HUD was excellent. Cockpit was certainly smaller but I spent most of my time strangely enough seated! Copilots did have to spend about 20 extra seconds after engine start moving switches on the 737. Oh the horror!
