@EW73 - Worst preflight of any airliner I've flown. And have you flown the 757/767/777? IMO much better cockpit layouts, but they're also newer designs(A300/310 = early 70's vs. late 70's(757/767)/early 90's for the 777)
And the cabin call alert would make you jump out of your skin about 25-50% of the time(very loud, right above your head). Between the two pilots is was very common for one, or both, guys to jump when the F/A's called. First flight - BUZZZZ!!!!!!

I'm startled - "what the hell is that!?!?!" CKA laughs - "sorry, I forgot to warn you."
