Funny ...someone told me that the best way to be a good Pilot when you are flying an Airbus....Start out as an Excellent pilot...cause your skills will fade fast.
I have to admit having flown the 737-200 I came to the bus with a lot of misconceptions and preconcived notions. I have to honestly say I like flying the bus better. This of course is based totally on MY physical comfort.
