Pack sand. Ill call the damn ground whatever the hell i want to call it princess. Surely you can come up with some real crap to spaz about. BTW i bet you are just a hoot to fly with. A guy who goes hysteric over another's vernicular and forces their little irks onto others. Yeah i know your type.

Don't take it personally. This is the 21st century internet after all. Remember when chat rooms used to be friendly places? Remember when everyone was just excited to talk to someone on the other side of the world?

"On the deck" has been used by civilians also.

Sliceback is correct. I personally have heard multiple civilians say deck while we chit chatted in the "cockpit". I didnt think they were idiot sounding.

My perspective (and the dozen or so with whom I went through training on it seem to agree) is that the 737 is really fun to fly and not that hard to learn. Maybe later when I've gained 30 lbs and don't want to work so hard (if that's what you call this), the Bus might be appealing, but for a new hire all that should matter is QOL. Bid to minimize or end your commuting, to get a line ASAP, etc.

Or how about mil guys who have flown 30, 40, 50+ year old tankers/bombers or Herks or fighter aircaft their whole careers. We're just happy to be here. I bet the 737 is a lot more quiet than the -135.

I don't really care, they are welcome to their opinion, but it seems to important to let new guys know before they choose equipment during indoc that side sticks etc is meaningless to most of us other newbies, compared with other factors.
