I just started my line training on the 737-800 and i must admit having flown Dash8's and then the ERJ-145 i found the 73 a bit dissapointing as far as technology is concerned.
I can understand though why Boeing made it that way and as we all know is due to type comonality with the previous 73's.
But yes i agree totally that its silly that the a/c can't cope with a single a/p go-around.
I say what a waste of a potentially brilliant a/c.
