I tend to not lend any credence to that person's opinion.

I was agreeing with his post #132. He’s got that assessment nailed.

pretty much any pilot out there you talk to.. a CRJ has a better cockpit

I flew the CRJ-200. It was a pig but did indeed have a much nicer cockpit than the 737 (besides the smaller CRT type screens).

Some people like twigs. Others like hogs. Take your pick.

I was told size didn’t matter! So sad right now!

I’ve sat in enough jump seats to see how it works… the overhead panel hasn’t been updated in 60 years.. turning on the anti-ice… Can’t even fit a jump seaters suitcase. They could have easily taken technology from the 757/767 developed in the 1980’s and it would have been light years better than the current 737

Right.... the jumpseat! How could that ever slip my mind? I knew that Delta Air Lines Pilots are créme de la créme, but the fact you've deduced all your expertise from the jumpseat... I'm blown away.

Lol…Max flies nice, it’s quieter than the NG…my only real gripe is the engine start time and warm up/cool down times. We get paid by the minute now so I’m not in any hurry.

Who TF cares? It’s a job, not a flying club. And besides, look where we work. We have no choice. Move on.

I don’t care what I fly when I’m driving to work and making over $500k a year (now)
