They like really, really, long runways and don't fancy anything above 2000ft for take-off. You'll see V-speeds that make you think you were driving a space shuttle, and tailstrikes is a bigger risk on this type than any other narrow-body, with the possible exception of the Q-400.

For take-off and landings it's a dog, but once up there, it sips fuel and does wonders for the CASM, which make beancounters extremely happy.
