12,000 hours split evenly between A and C. LOVE IT, LOVE IT. great machine but like all has its flaws. Pluses and minus's have been mentioned but to reiterate. Never found the seat a problem, could sit there all day, but plenty of guys did complain. I'm a short a55 so that may have something to do with it. No good in the heat (A & C), offshore 35°C, 1100lb fuel, could only lift 4 pax in a C. Emergency exits leave a great deal to be desired for the offshore role - pax refer to the rear row as "suicide row". Front pax row is not far behind in my opinion. And I hated the electrical panels on the overhead in the C. Wish they kept them on the centre console as in the A. Ventilation in the heat (no air conditioning) left a great deal to be desired as well, at least for seats 0A and 0B. Not flown any French products so cant compare. You'll love it (76), I'm only sorry I'm not still there.
froggy - never ever did any CG calcs on the line in our ops
