I do agree with Viscount Sussex. I've flown 8 years on Boeing (737-200 then 737-500 and now since 2002 on 747-400), I've flown 4 years on A340 also. At the beginning, as Viscount Sussex, I was totaly against Airbus philosophy. I've been an aerobatic pilot and glider instructor for several years and I thought Airbus CDVE is a non sense. Against all odds, I falled in love with A340. It's a wonderfull aircraft design to work with.
Just disregard people that haven't flown Airbus who are saying a lot of things without knowning really what they are talking about...
Just go with an open mind... You'll find a very efficient aircraft. I'm sure you'll appreciate it.
