Compared to the 319 and 320 it's just a sled. You can feel the lack of wing in literally every regime. I was over dramatizing it a bit, I don't really mind flying it at all, in fact I feel blessed to be in my position, but I do much prefer the other two.

Airbus news for AA/US..
I flew one of ours at JetBlue the other day for the first time, I didn't think it was that bad from all the stuff I have read ... Many step altitudes but worked well. Then again it's our "first class / mint" config so it's not as weight limited compared to say Spirits when they stuff 3000 people in theirs .

It's not a great performer but who cares. I've got the tray table out, autopilot on, and the headset off, getting paid the same whether I'm climbing 2000 fpm or 500.
Only thing that really bothers me is waiting for 187 to deplane on the last leg of the day for the short overnight.

I bid for the trip, not the plane.

That's gonna be so nice, we won't have to baby them anymore.
Next thing that should happen is separate hotels, one for pilots and one for the stews. I hate having to overnight in hotels in boonies because it's "by a mall"
