Quieter and larger cockpit. That's it. Better long term job? AB

To give you an idea of what you're pining for....the 787 has a soft key FMC. No hard keys. It's a horror show at first. After a month it's a non event. What never goes away, and no one talks about, is how SLOW it accelerates. You're at .87 and dial up .89-.90? You'll be wondering if you'll EVER get to speed. It gets there eventually. ;-)
