What's your instinctive response when your stall warning chirps or the airspeed dips below what you want on takeoff/climb out? It wouldn't be cool having a computer that didn't allow you to respond in the manner you wanted.

Can Boeing recover from this?

Boeing will recover. The 737 is getting old and Boeing wants to move on with a clean sheet design. However customers such as Southwest still want the "one type" aircraft. At some point Boeing will just have to announce the end of the 737 line when orders of the 737-700/800 decline.

One thing Airbus has over Boeing is aircraft familiarity from narrow body to wide body. The cockpit and systems of the A320 through the A380 are remarkably similar. Whereas Boeing allows the customer to configure the cockpit to their taste, Airbus limits this and virtually all Airbus have the same cockpit layout.

If a pilot is typed on the A320, this allows him to fly the A318, A319, A320 and A321. If the airline needs a wide body, such as the A330, then the upgrade course is only 6 sim sessions. The systems and cockpits are almost identical.

Boeing is starting to go that way with the 787/797 designs, but Airbus is way ahead of them.

Post by: Anthony on April 30, 2019, 03:51:59 PM: I like the bottom of one, and the top of the other. Yeah, both. But, I need more information, and maybe research. A lot of research.

I'd have no problems riding either/both.

Neither would I, and at the same time.

Gag.
