Can those with experience of both Boeing & AB types give their opinions on which is preferable in gusty challenging wind conditions. I know my preference, but with no AB line experience. I have taken B757 into some very small airfields with dodgy winds, but perhaps nothing like as described in St. Helena; although I'm sure Funchal operators have opinions. From a diversion point of view B757 does have a supplementary fuel tank on Hold 3 option. Is that an answer to the diversion issue?
