5 years in the right seat of the MD and one year left seat of the Bus. Now back on the MD for two years in the left seat. So, unlike most of the guys on here I've done both. Why only one year in the left seat of the Bus (when I had an 18 month freeze) THE BUS SUCKS! I begged Lewis and he let me out of my freeze. I was glad to go through another training cycle to escape the uptight Bus.
The 11 is much more user friendly. It does what you tell it to do.... the bus, well it has a mind of it's own and will F#$K you from time to time.
The trips are much better.
Unless you have flown both airplanes don't argue with me... because you just don't know.. That means you BoyCaptain 12 years on the Bus you don't have a point of reference. Too bad you got kicked off your MD-11 LAX bid, it sucks to be too junior to hold it. Maybe later

you are pretty dumb for an old guy...go ahead and tell everyone senior to you how great the 11 is...you are on the verge of being excessed now...get those old 72 manuals out!....you may get to fly with foxhunter...everyone listen to r1200...the bus stinks..the 11 is awesome....my point of reference is that i am 700 numbers senior to you
