The 737's A/C and pressurisation ergonomics are simply awful. It is of no great surprise that there have been so many pressurisation incidents and accidents on the type, even the NG
Interesting viewpoint and I have read similar remarks from others. Having only ever flown the 737-200 and Classics and a few hours on the F28 Fellowship, I am not in a position to compare with other jet transports.
But I must say, I have never struck finger trouble with the 737's pressurisation systems despite many years on type. On the contrary, I found it simple to operate if you use a modicum of care as with any other systems on other types.
