A350 differences
quick question for anyone who has flown both the 900 and the 1000 types , are there any significant differences in handling between both variants ?

...and with a less useful payload. And a defective park brake. And an anti-ice system that ices up...in non icing conditions. And a radalt that causes potential problems during an ILS approach over water. And a crew rest area designed by autistic howler monkeys suffering from involuntary narcissistic rage. And a cabin interphone system that when used in a certain combination of calls either A. Turns on the cabin lights to full bright, or B. Opens the outflow valves...
Have I missed any others? Sh!t yeah, but I'm sure they're covered in the OEBs/TABs/OMFGs

Uncommanded Turns When LNAV is in Use
Control Panel (MCP) Altitude Window Changing Without Pilot Action
Uncommanded Autothrottle Movement on the Ground
VNAV Descent on Approach Without a Valid Descent Path
Just minor stuff.
Damn airbuses.

I absolutely loved the 777 but the A350 is better, it should be too as it’s a lot newer tech.
It has its issues but what Jet doesn’t. They’re manageable.
The bunk however is like sleeping on a rock.

While I understand that nobody in this airline chooses what fleet they go on and certainly feel the need to up the banter between fleets, lets be real.
The only good thing about the airbus is the tray table, that's it.
Boeing aircraft are made with the pilots in mind, everything is solid and is actually a pleasure to operate. While the airbus is a plane made by engineers, for engineers. The continued arrogance and disdain towards pilots by the plonkers in Toulouse is the reason for the continued deskilling of the industry. Just look at the 350, treats its "pilots" like kindergarteners. My agenda is definitely a selfish one (ie wanting to keep my job for as long as I can) but I'm not going to stand in the way of progress of technology.

Jesus, who cares. Its all the same, you are flying an airliner not aerobatics. Follow FDs, AP on follow the magenta line. The boeing v airbus debate is laughable, what reason would there to be to turn off computers, the airbus just simply allows you to gain max performance out of the aircraft whilst not allowing you to fall out of the sky, AF447 excluded for a variety of reasons.
