Aww sweetie, go find a safe space before you become further triggered. They have coloring books there that teach you how to not get your feeling hurt.

You might say.

GUM-HNL mx ferry. Landed an empty plane with 18k landing fuel. 324 was the landing weight. 8L HNL to hold short 4L, requires 30 flaps per SOP. Could have turned off at the AF ramp.

Love reading the small D&$k big airplane guys bag the 737. Sorry, it makes more money then the 757, flies better places then the Airbus, gets you more seniority quicker in every base, and you won't look like the Crypt Keeper after a few years like the 777 guys. There's lots of open time and Sr manning, you can make some serious 🤑🤑. We had a new airbus guy jumpseat on a 900 a few weeks ago and he was surprised how easily we landed on 9R in ORD, and by the fact that we don't actually stall at FL320 and run out of gas on a transcon. No airplane is perfect, the 777 was the easiest I've flown, but I've never felt sh$ttier, the dc9 was the most fun, and the oldest POS..... But if your senior to me, keep thinking the 737 is horrible 😉

No feelings hurt here....i have said before I don't enjoy the experience up front. But the airplane is built to do a job: to safely transport pax from A to B and make money, and it does it well. Your lack of a tray table up front is irrelevant. You're the one all wound up and foaming at the mouth every time you see a 737....is that you in your avatar looking at one?

Ok I did not read the history of your guys' argument but that made me laugh out loud.

Has nothing to do with any of the factors you previously touted.....the crux is....Boeing should be ashamed of offering this warmed over "2 engine 707" antiquated POS.

The 777 has a tray table? Who'd a thunk it?

its pretty easy from what i've observed... guys/gals just rest the tray on their belly ... they don't call it WB flying for nothing. Seriously though... there is only a small tray above the pubs bag... pretty worthless.
