EICAS? No. Think 1960's, 727, and you'll recognize the EICAS/ECAM system.
Ok, I know it's a very similar common type to the 732's but was curious when they went to glass if they included Boeings newer generation EICAS or not.
Hand flying? Nice.
Nice to hear.
Landing? Nice, except for flaps 40. Everyone will be humbled. Some are humbled by F40 a lot of the time but no one will always escape the wrath of F40.
Awesome. I fly on a competitor a fair bit and it seems the 737 lands more like a shopping cart. But that is from the self loading cargo's point of view.
6'5". You'll miss the A320 the second you walk into the 737 cockpit and it WON'T get better with time.
I was afraid of this. I suppose the 737 will be better than what I used to fly (Metroliners, King Airs, Dash 8 and RJs.)
Bag in the cockpit? Yes. Bags? Good luck.
No spot behind your seat for your bags? Where do you store it? Enough room in the coat closet for a big jacket for you and the skipper when your destination is -30?
Legs up? Sure. Like the A320? No.
Is the yoke annoying? Nah, unless you flew Airbus'. Then it will drive you nuts.
I've spent a fair bit of time on the Airbus now, and I must say you don't really notice how nice it is going onto it, but many of my friends have mentioned as soon as you leave it you realize how spoiled you were.
Anyhow thanks Misd-agin....
One more question, what are some of the positives of the 737 vs mini-bus? I hear guys who fly it some are very happy with it.
Cheers
