Being that the ‘74 Super Beetle NG has a pretty good air conditioning system (providing that guys actually fire up the APU and get rid of the useless ground air in IAH) and pays the same as the Escalade, I really don’t care either way. I’ll pick the one that provides the best schedule. Most people in this country work much harder than we do for less than we pay in taxes. I don’t think that life on the 737 qualifies as suffering. Flying either plane for what we make is a pretty good life. We’re the lucky ones.

I’m sure the bus is better to fly. Much quieter cockpit, more room, more automated....... Having said that, the 737 isn’t exactly suffering. It’s easy to fly. Most of the flying public has no idea what they’re in. If you ask them they’ll tell you “the one with 3 seats each side of the aisle “. The company went with the max over the neo. So what? I’m a f/o on 12 year pay. Based on 80 hours a month I earn about $178,000. Add the $28,000 for my B-fund, insurance, and an average 15 days off per month, I really don’t think the 73, 37, guppy.... is that bad.

It's very easily confused. I'd say worse than the 757.I dunno. I came from the 757 to the 777 and thought the 777 worked a lot better. I've seen countless people finger bang the vnav into uselessness instead of letting it do it's thing while keeping it engaged, though.
Nothing like watching a guy go through 4 different vertical modes while descending 2000'.

Posting your pay info on a public forum. Stay classy San Diego.

It is the poor or lack of training out of DTK that is the problem. Training by Bulletin or Newsletter just isn't cutting it.
The love affair with the FLCH button is a UAL thing and our FSAP stats puts us at the bottom of the industry. The other operators other than Asiana seem to have got VNAV figured out.
Let's not even have the discussion of the UAL embarrassments at LHR.
