I have been thinking of bailing to the 737 and looking for input from guys that have flown both types in either seat for some input. Comfort and noise being the only obvious advantage with the mini bus..
In all respects, If I would not trust an aircraft after 2500 hrs I would change the fleet. I didn't fly the 737 so I can't really compare, I came to the bus from ATR's. It took a while but not years...
