The 737 isn’t smart enough to know what doesn’t work. That’s not a disparaging remark but it’s like having a check engine light on a modern car vice driving a carbureted Chevy Nova. 90% of the problems on the Guppy if there’s not a light you’ll never know. The bus tells you EVERYTHING that’s wrong with it no matter how menial, and every computerized airplane I’ve ever flown gets temperamental when they get cold and sit over night so just wait until you show up to the airplane in Calgary after it’s sat overnight in the winter. The light show isn’t unique to Airbus.

From my experience so far, bus breaks way more then the 737 and has many more MELs.
