I'm kinda partial to the CRJ200 flight deck since I've spent so much time training in it this summer. I really like the layout of the Airbus A320 too. It looks comfortable, roomy, and well organized.

 

Anything that pays the bills and then a little extra! Shouldn't be too choosey... that leads to SJS! LOL...

Apparently my message was too short to enter. These words should fix that.

 

I got a look a the Global Express cockpit once. Very nice some beautiful avioics. That would be my favorite so far. I like the ERJ but, from what some jumpseaters that fly the "older steam gauge type aircraft" tell me its a little busy for there liking. The airbus I imagine is the most comfortable with no yoke in your way at all.

 

The bus sidestick is nice & out of the way, but some like a big yoke to hang on to. Personally, I love having a tray table and not having to do gyrations to get seated around the yoke.

The CRJ is a nice bird but long in the tooth for avionics and missing the joys of autothrust. It does have a very logical overhead, just like the bus.

Even the bus is old school in the avionics (and don't get me started on it's crazy FMS) when compared to the Gulfstream 450/550 planeview system.

But the G birds look like a 737-200 in the overhead and are really old school in systems management. Got smoke in the cabin? Get out of your seat, march thru the smoke to hit the rear cargo door seal deflate valve conveniently located on the baggage compartment door!

I'd love to get my hands on the new Falcon 7X to see if it was as modern as the CRJ/Bus in the overhead and if the Easy avionics setup was really the same as the Gstream planeview. If it is what the hype suggests it will be a sweet bird.

I LOVED Flying (and preferred) the ERJ, but the CRJ flight deck is a bit more of what a Jet should look like though, IMHO...

 

L1011. Now that's a man's cockpit/airplane! Steam gages but very ergonomic.

 

Now of course, ANY widebody flight deck is going to take the cake ;-)

 

Since this is a regional board, the DASH 8's cockpit was designed with the pilot in mind. Although slow and landed like a Ford F-150, it was a well designed aircraft.

 

My bad. in that case i'd have to go with the CRJ-700/900
