After working predominantly on Boeings from '77 to '91, I moved to a company operating A300-600s and A310-300s. I hated them to begin with but once I learned Airbus philosophy and the way the manuals worked, I got to to like them. From an installation point of view, I feel the Airbus is assembled with a bit more care, at least with respect to wiring installation (although some of the bundles are tightly wrapped!). The A320 took a bit of effort but, again, once you learn how to use the books, A-OK.. .I'm in a bit of a aviation backwater right now, with no prospect of anything other than 757/767s.. .Conehead - I hear things are reasonable where you are!
