Further thoughts on this question ,given the order books and the amount of low cost carriers going with Airbus it seems the logical choice. Though I personally would like to do a Boeing rating, because it's a Boeing (I'm a bit old fashioned).
I did read somewhere that the last quarter of orders was a little misrepresentative as Boeing did actually have a bunch of orders that were not officially included in the Quarterly stats (though don't quote me).
What about if it was the choice of 737 or 757/767 or airbus 318-21 rating ? would people still opt for the airbus ? I appreciate the 757 is no longer manufactured but with this rating you are into the 757 and 767 market, would this stand well for Boeings new aircrafts coming off the line and those in use or does airbus win again.
I think I'm going to have to pay for a type rating and this is the thoughts and worries I am having at the moment, would like to fly Boeing though would I be committing job harkari by not doing an airbus rating !!??
Cheers
