I'm not a pilot Joe,I'm doing "loadsheets" for Air France.My job is to be sure ( i mean realy sure lol ) that's the plane is not overwheight and well balanced so it can take-off and fly safely.
To do that i work whith pilots everyday,both Airbus and Boeing and from what i hear from them let's say that Boeing is probably more "pilot friendly" than Airbus .They feel more like piloting whith Boeing when it's more like dealing whith a big nice computer whith Airbus.That will probably change whith the new generation of Boeing though .
When i manage to go to the Air France flight sim whith some pilots friends i can feel myself as a non-pilot that Boeing(777) is more intuitive and easy to handle than Airbus(320) I can't stand this damn joystick lol there's an inertia in it and i already virtually killed a few hundreds passengers trying to land the 320 lol .
Besides that i'm now piloting the 777 like a champ,it's almost like driving my car.
From a passenger point of view there's honestly no big differences between Airbus and Boeing exept for the A380 this is the more silent plane ever inside the cabin almost too quiet as you can hear other passengers snoring or farting from 3 rows away lol .
