Are 737s really unresponsive and docile though or what? What is the attraction with flying such things?

While we're all moaning......

....... I may as well get it off me chest.

First solo 25/10/07. Nearly half a year later, *no* second solo yet.
Only 2 out of 10 lessons flown in 2008 so far (weather crap every Friday ).
I guess a 20% success rate is about what would be expected in a UK winter.
Funny thing is though, I flew 31 times between May and Dec 07, and not a single one was cancelled because of the weather .

Found the controls very heavy, easy to get into pilot induced oscillation but I guess that gets better with practice... Truly awesome experience though!
