Fantom:---never flown the 744 or 77W have you? The A330 is indeed ok but wonderful? Nup
You want to impress the pax then grease on a Boeing
not that anyone will care anyway.....
You could easily land the 744 and not realise you were on the ground until you heard the speedbrake motor noise as the lever moved aft. That has NEVER happened on any Airbus.....( apart from the fact the stupid little lever doesn't move!! )
