Does Size Really Matter?

Dash 8, I'm 6 ft tall, I can slide the seat back cross my legs and read the paper, opps, I meant look a high enroute charts.

The Lear, it takes a few months to know how to get in without tearing switches off the middle console. After 2 hours, I'm ready to get out, lucky for me it was a 20 series most of the time.

The Dornier 328 has a nice, roomy cockpit - but then again, compared to a CH-46E the Wright Flyer would be an improvement

Out of the few that I have been in, Corporate wise, we crammed about 6 -15-18 year olds- in the Challengers 604 cockpit. The most spacious cockpit airliner that I have been in has to be the 777. That is my two cents.

Why I went from the L1011 to the 737-800NG I'll never know! The L10 has enough room for a party.You can walk into the flight deck standing up(WITH)your hat on,and I'm 6'2''.The 737 is tiny by comparison.There isn't enough room to place a Jepp bag alongside your seat so I use a modified computer bag.I've been in the 757 and it is much roomier than the 73.The jumpseat on the L10 has to be one of the best seats of any airliner.

I have to respectfully disagree with " doin time" : I am a former Saab Driver and loved the plane! From the pilots point of view I thought it was well layed out however when someone was on the jumpseat it was anything but roomy!

Probably one thing better than DC-10/ L1011 is the MD-11 with only a 2 man crew and the bunk available! I have always been impressed with the Airbus A320- Lots of space in the jumpseat -especially for a narrow body aircraft.

DC10<< Didnt you use to be at Gemeni? I assume by your profile its Airtran now.
