Challenger 300

Cabin set up doesn’t bother me. What really bothers me is the set up in the cockpit.
That pax oxygen system is very easy to deploy since is soo close to APU start button. You really have to be careful when u reach down and start that APU if you are not looking. Also those fire switches sitting almost abeam your seatbelts, they can very easy be pushed if u just unbuckle and not holding on to that strap, if you constantly have to get in and out the cockpit while u flying. Heard that Flex had an engine shutdown in flight cz someone thru a candy bar into the cockpit and hit one of the fire switches that was guarded it. Apparently the design of the switch even with guarded protection ON, can still be triggered very easy………..anyway I just think this airplane was not design to be on a rush.

That pax oxygen system is very easy to deploy.

We have deployed them a couple of times. One with the foot and one just bumping into it. Once it happened just as the pax walked up the stairs. He turned to the cabin, looked and turned to us and said "you didn't have to decorate just for me" embarrassing. He was cool about it. We have since found bottle caps that fit over it or hair spray caps to help us not hit it.

speaking with the CL300 Demo pilots, Bombardier is aware of this, but at the snails pace they move...who knows when they will correct the switch position and cockpit ergonomics.

Maybe at the upcoming block change with the "new" interior.
