It's just like a big PA28. Very nice aircraft to hand fly and the AFDS modes are quite easy to understand.
I loved my time with PA28 : ) lovely stabile aircraft.. great for cadets.
I have confidence on my handling skills and learnin(or remembering) flying skills. However I am not flying for fun but for money now. I dont say I hate the job, still love visuals, non pre approaches etc. but with the current situation of the commercial avioation it s not easy to fly 90 hours and 45 sectors in a narrow body aircraft. Airbus offers more comfort for pilots plus.. it s what I'm used to. These are my reasons to be confused about the offer.
Thanks for you advice..
