Any truth to that? Just asking.
In my experience of 3 x Boeing and 2 x Airbus types, the 737-800 was the far more difficult and quirky to fly - probably as a result of over 50 years of stretches, redesigns, upgrades and various bandaid fixes or legacy "features" dictated by their largest customer rather than by any other measure. Having said that - fun to fly and a really versatile machine.
