A question to experienced Airline and Pilots only

Postby amaru » Mon Oct 13, 2008 8:46 pm

Please note this question is directed to only pilots who flew at least one of the aircrafts listed in the poll, not from simulator experience...let the pilots have their say. Many thanks

To be honest my friend we don't have many airline pilots on here, and I don't think that any of them fly those aircraft...

Plus to get a true answer from this you need a pilot that has flown nearly all of them to tell you which is nicest to handle... Most pilots stay on one type for a good number of years... So they kinda become biased to that aircraft.

Maybe you should add VC10, you would get at least one reply ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

And that boils down to more than just the aerodynamics....airbus's are fly by wire so your input has little to do with it's aerodynamics.

I doubt anybody on these forums still flies the Airbus A300 or A310.

I had a post asking for any commercial pilots around here to get some answers and only 2-4 people were pilots but seemed they were for a few months and dint like it becuase of the pay as a starter and you barely got any flying time.

One would assume from their long range success and the fact they are the most recent, that the B777 and Airbus A330/340 series probably top the list.
