Ok, I'll eat the crow I deserve, or how I learned to love the Bus.

I'll add the one major fault I've discovered since I started flying the bus on the line. There is a serious lack of cup holders in the 320 series cockpit.

Airbus needs to address this ASAP.

ANY coffee cup will spill, if using the cup holder. I use the chart "file" holder during takeoff. It's conveniently the same width as a Starbucks lid.

Tray table and one hand after.

Ha, I do the same! Those bins keep the coffee nice and snug during takeoff.

It's gotta be a step up from the Saab .

Dude that car sitting on blocks in Ricky Bobbys front yard is a step up from the Saab.

Ham standards or dowty?

Most have dowty, one has a ham stan.

Been a few years since I have flown the Saab but I remember the ham standard sinking better. Also as an Airbus guy the Saab was way more fun to fly. Except in Houston during the summer...

I was surprised to find out it handles like an airplane .

I flew the -200 for about a year.

Zero interest in returning to the 737, even as a line-holding captain in LAX, nope nope noppity nope.

Too loud. Too small. And I gotta stretch after "leg day" fairly often.

Plus the poor copilot never knows who is digging through his bag back in the cabin.

"The ball is hit… it goes back! Way back! Boeing's gonna catch it and uh uh OHHHHHH, he dropped the ball"

My gut feeling is in a couple years I too will be forced onto the -800NG/900ERs.
