AN AIRLINE aviator has revealed the level that is "easier to fly" and much comfortable.

He has adjacent revealed that immoderate pilots garbage to modulation to 1 benignant of craft due to the fact that it is truthful hard to learn.

John Chesire, a erstwhile hose pilot, took to Quora to exposure the realities of a flying career and reply galore burning questions from online users.

He claims that the vast bulk of pilots would opt for a Boeing exemplary implicit an Airbus for a fig of reasons.

John said: "The pilots I cognize are divided connected this. But I deliberation the bulk favour Boeing due to the fact that their craft can beryllium flown without a computer.

"In my airline, galore pilots refused to modulation to the Airbus from the Boeing due to the fact that it was truthful antithetic and hard to learn… adjacent though the Airbus trips were much desirable and paid more.

"Once learned, it is simply a great aircraft, but its learning curve is steep and challenging.

"Having respective 1000 hours flying both, I tin archer you they are rather antithetic aircraft, with overmuch antithetic systems and particularly antithetic nomenclature.

"I went from the Boeing to the Airbus, and I fishy that modulation is astir apt much hard than transitioning from the Airbus to Boeing.

"However if your question is: “Can a pilot jump from 1 to the different without immoderate differences training?” the reply is simply a definite no! Their differences are immense and tin beryllium overwhelming to the uninitiated and untrained pilot successful those two, extremely antithetic aircraft."
