Couple its $hityness with the awful trips and now you know why it is the junior airplane. If I had my choice I would not fly it unless you did not want to commute or had some other overriding QOL concern.
I have not flown the 320, but I have hitched a ride up front and it was very quiet and looked quite comfortable and easy to operate.
just my opinion folks, try not to burn me at the stake.
I went from the ER to the 88. Besides the blow to my international ego, I think the 88 is just fine. It flies great, fun to fly. Its got its issues as do all aircraft. I have only flown with one captain that I would rather not fly with again. You could have the best 3 day, with great layos, with a crappy crew and it becomes a crappy trip. I actually love the 88. Would I bid off of it if something better comes along? Absolutely!!
