Kicking this off again Sk8r? It's never gone away! Getting it all out in here will give the pacifists a chance not to be annoyed 'cos others have an opinion.
Clue's in the thread title gents.

A Donkey asks...
If Group A are tasked with obtaining the maximum operational capability from an aging platform, beset with the usual problems of spares, serviceability, and availbility, and yet do this exceptionally well and in a professional manner. Whereas Group B are tasked with obtaining the maximum operational capability from an newly introduced platform, beset with the usual problems of MAR, and introduction to service issues, and yet do this exceptionally well and in a professional manner, why would they publicly flog each other over the relative merits of each Group when the organizational failings that lead to this animosity are largely outside of their control and pay grade? What am I missing here?

Suspicion breeds confidence
I haven't flown in the new model, but I have in the old and I don't expect the new one to be any less uncomfortable. They are both just a utility transport. What is all the fuss about? Good a/c with professionals at the helm, getting the job done.

The J seems noiser down the back, and the vibes are higher frequency and much more annoying. And for some odd reason, anything more than 3 ft off the floor gets roasting hot, whereas the bottom 3 ft of the freight bay is arctic.
As opposed to the K freight bay, where anything more than 10ft away from the prop line is arctic!
But what the hell - I'm probably gonna end up flying the damn thing sooner or later.
Well, when I say 'flying', I mean 'pushing buttons on the MC'.
Autothrottles - what's that all about? Something wrong with your right hands up Northside?

NO Juliet,
16 Blades is to be commended for defending the classic, however he will join the J fleet and, like every other Pilot and ALM who has gone through conversion, will discover just how superbly capable the J really is and how it is light years ahead of anything he has endured to date.
It will of course then be very interesting to see which angle his posts come from on this age old topic
all spelling mistakes are "df" alcohol induced
