321N Displays Radar
73N TOGA Button (just push forward and hit button, not tell other guy to hit EPR)
757 Rudder Pedals/Foot Well.. 320 pedals are narrower between the outside ridges than my shoes are wide. Size 17EE problems.
767 room in the cockpit.
767 Jumpseats
320 Bleed Air System
320 "just put switch to RUN and watch it" starting system.
Pegasus FMS maybe with multi color.
I hate the MCDU on the 320. It's just klunky as hell, even after years of similar boxes (PL21)
757-300 Digital Mode Control Panel.. NO BOUNCING DIGITS!
Throw in the vertical profile view from the E170's and im sold.
Ill hijack the thread real quick, im also looking at the possibility of potentially taking NYC ER or DTW bus. I live in ORD, which seat would be easier to commute to? I saw ssomeone mentioned that reserve on the ER may not be as desirable. Can someone elaborate on how commuting to reserve would be different from the ER to one of the narrowbody fleets?
