LAVDUMP, answer to your question is dead simple, of course we (who have flow both A/C types) prefer A319/320. Operating Airbus is much simpler, quicker and thus you get less tired on a multisector day. The Airbuses are also more reliable with a lot more redundancy and you can trust that you can land that aircraft safely on almost any situation; when you lost one A/P the A/C is still cat 3a etc. Turnarounds are quicker as the cockpit procedures are simpler - this list of advantages in Airbus is endless. I do not know where, from operational point of view, 737 would be better than the Airbus. . .. .If there are any replys, the guys who do not have the relevant experience, please save us from the usual bulls..it regarding how faaaaaaantastic B737 is as it IS NOT. It is from the -50's with a few added cathod ray tubes as smokescreen.... .. .Cheers
