The Airbus cockpit is larger and quieter. If I had to spend years and years on one I'd choose the AB. Time to fly both? I'd fly both. That way you can figure out for yourself if the 737 is worth bidding for better seniority, vacations, holiday bidding, etc.
I’ve also flown both and currently fly the Airbus. I agree with everything you said except for the FMS, but maybe that’s a personal preference.
Airbus is 10x better as a job but performance is terrible. And crosswinds are sh*t on the bus
