Hi all
Thanks for all the valuable info.
It would be great if more people from SAA would comment on their experiences so far - those that now have quite a bit of time on both.
From my perspective, the a/c are much the same, yet very different. The obvious handling difference is the greater inertia and the -800 feels alot heavier in pitch.
Wrlock is right, as long as the SOP's are sorted and as common as possible to the 2 a/c, there should be no problem.
Our more important colleagues are trying very hard to iron out all of those items, a job which is a much larger task than what seems evident. Thanks, guys.
Keep it safe out there...
