And fortunately, it doesn't feel or sound like an ER from the cockpit. Win win.

Man I hate flying at .78 and 330, ATC always puts the spurs into me too!

You think a 757 cockpit is loud?

To each their own but the 320 and 319 cockpits I’ve been in were pretty loud, and definitely needed the intercom.

We are talking about the 321 Neo. The old 320s are loud and if people close the vents it’s even louder.

We always use the intercom, except for push back.

FWIW they’ve been building separate rotations since last year, shout out to the fatigue committee.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if they renege on that with the airbus. For example YYC, we obviously have to deadhead to/from for hockey charters, but with YYC overnights on the bus already they might be able to make decent rotations.

louder then the NEO yes. The NEO is noticeably quieter than the 319/320’s as well as the 75’s. Being SEA based it’s a majority what we leave and bring back to base and it’s an awesome airplane. And yes I’ve flown multiple Boeings.

It pays the same as fhe 757 but we know it doesn't really pay the same in the soul, when you can't say you fly "the seven five".
