The Chieftain and Beech 99 made you work a lot more for your money, and after having sat up front on 737 classics and 757's the ERJ has got to be one of the most automated airplanes out there. |

the worst part about the plane is the damn pilot seat!! the saab was more comfortable. they need to throw some lazy boys up in there!
be careful on those PHL-IAH/DFW flights, you get stronger headwinds and storms that pop-up down south and youll be diggin into your RSV fuel. |

Brasilia FO is known to be the opposite...busy seat. |
I was talking to an Airways 737 captain last night, who is being forced to go to the A320. He's not happy about it.
He has training this week, and he was telling me about how fracking automated that plane is.
And I and the Delta 767 captain sitting next to me were completely blown away...
The Junglebus sounds alot like the A320, in terms of automation!
