Airbus is 10x better as a job but performance is terrible. And crosswinds are sh*t on the bus
Format is certainly a preference. Long time users of A or B often get lost when switching to the other brand. But the Airbus FMC isn't as good as the Boeing's. I've read that a couple of items have been improved (35 yrs after Boeing provided it in their FMC's). Can the Airbus update winds at abeam points or is that still a shortcoming?
Oh...the screens. It's like looking at Atari computer games. So cool back in the 1970's and 1980's....so ancient looking today. Nothing like needing your camera in you iphone to see the radar displays. It's stunning that the FAA (forget the Europeans...they weren't going to delay Airbus' for that) ever accepted that.
I've flown both. 737's more fun, Airbus is a better job if you're going to do it for a long time.
