It has several advantages over the AB.
Real auto-throttle, which moves and the pilot can be override.
Real V-Nav, which intercepts vertical path.
No brake temp issues.
Sturdier, flies like a real airplane, more stable in turbulence and fun to fly.
Full Speed-brakes descent is a beauty...
Does not rat on you!
You do have to perform a real engine out
No tray table
Not as comfy for longer flights
Definitely NOT a POS by any means...

I agree I’d happily take a Boeing (but I would miss the try table).

We could just as well ignore everything up to 500 degrees (if we were legally allowed to) and the performance would be the same. That's easily how hot their brakes get but since there's no indicator, out of sight out of mind
Also the need to override the auto thrust (at least in the Airbus) is non existent. if you understand the logic and fly it like a bus, there's zero need to ever override it.

unequivocally the 737 is a POS in it's current environment. Fine 20 years ago as an 1.5 hour shuttle. A misery sandwich on a transcon or deep south flight.
A mix of more 320/321 and the 200 series would be just fine.
Want to fly in a nice 737, get a 757.

Do you understand that logic?
