Decaf may be in order!!
I was just jiving. Thats fine if people want to say a jet sucks because of some minor inconveniences. Me, I have loved every plane I have ever flown. None of them were perfect. I guess my love of flying outweighs my sense of complaining and namecalling aircraft. Especially ones that have gotten me on deck safely 100% of the time. Loudness, small cockpit, no tray table or sidestick, etc, these things dont define a jet as "sucking" in my opinion. Airline flying is the easiest job I have ever had. I love it. I love the 73. I have no problem going into combat each day with that damn box on my descent. I take it as a challenge and love the match. I feel good in a tight cockpit. I can put my legs up. I can recline the seat. All is good. I got me a good headset, no more loud cockpit. Pretty easy stuff. And when I move the yoke left, airplane rolls left. Pull back, airplanes nose picks up. Amazing. The ole horse has brought me home every single time. No complaints.

We can do this all day or you or your butt buddy can explain what exactly sucks about the 737. If you cant, then I will continue to believe you are just wimps who somehow got their ass kicked by the 73. I get sick of people who supposedly love to fly indicting a perfectly fine airplane with "it sucks". And dont come with "its noisy". BFD. A nice headset cures that. BTW, military fighters are noisy but I dont categorize them as "sucking".

Yeah, the Block 1 airplanes are loud, but the newer ones aren't that bad. Tons of Airbus guys talk about noise cancelling headsets, too.
HVAC may have sucked in the -300s (or -200s or any classic), but I think it's great in the -800. Occasionally, you have to run the packs off the APU on the ground in the summer, but I normally stay comfy in it.
No tray table? Meh.
No side stick? GREAT! I enjoy having a tactile feel of what the airplane is doing.
