As for the NGs, that is the genius of Kelleher. He forced Boeing to make him a mini-757 so he could go coast to coast, higher, faster and longer AND IT STILL BE A 737. Brilliant.
As one who flew both (737 and 'bus) what was/is your opinion of the non-moving thrust levers on the 'bus? I thought it was a non-issue but for some, it is a BIG issue.
The non moving thrust levers are not an issue, if you want them to move just disconnect. The auto thrust on the NG was pretty good, especially compared to the MD80. Been on the big bus for the last six years and no problems, love the table
