Credit where its due
LCAL guppy guy here. Got to actually enjoy some perks of the job this week with some personal travel. My travels included two LUAL airbus trips. They were both great flights. Ontime, cabin crew was professional and friendly. Couple of the F/A's were actually outstanding.
I have to say as a guy whose *** has spent many hours DHing in a 737, The AB coach seats are noticeably more comfortable than the 737 seats. Free movie to kill the time. Pilots were professional and informative (just enough, I cant stand mouthy p.a. loving crews)
Kudo's to the LUAL crews on these flights. Really enjoyed the trips and the paying customers seemed to be having a good experience as well.
I think this merger may actually work if we can wade through all the other bullchit that goes along with it. Peace.

Yea, I have 4 Boeing type ratings and they are all the same to me. I don't bid one over the other for the coach seat or even the cockpit seat. The 737NG seats are much better than any older Boeing seat (old 737/757/767). Cockpit size? Who cares, I'm not jogging up there, I'm sitting. Systems? Who cares, they all fly the same. Besides the NG has better instruments than those old Boeings.
I'm in the 737 because I don't have to fly all night to some place my phone won't work for 24 hours or more.

Its the best commercial airplane I've flown from both a comfort perspective and a workflow perspective.
