738 v the rest of he 73 fleet

"it’s a very slippery aircraft to handle, more so than the earlier 737-3/4/5 etc. the wing doesn’t allow slow down and go down. ... in the 738 its tricky, also if your familiar with the approach into STN, 220 kits from 6000 down to 3000, level in 8 miles, speed brake or flaps required!."

I've got friends who fly for a rather large line here in the States that operates only 73Xs

Many wonder how the 738 got included in the type rating with the previous 73s.
