I'm doing some research for a paper, and am curious what you all think are most difficult and easy transport acft to learn about and fly. I'm talking about the whole experience. Systems, flight characteristics, cup-holder ergonomics, etc.
I guess as an example, I've heard that many of the RJ's are considered difficult b/c most new RJ pilots have little/no turbine time. I have also heard that MD-11's are a bitch b/c of strange slow-flight properties. One guy I know complains about MD-80's b/c de-icing fluid loves to leak into the cockpit.
But anyways, if you could list the transport acft you've flown in order of difficulty or most taxing/pleasant experience (w/ any brief commentary you have to offer), it'd help me get an idea how this paper is going to lay out.
Thanks!
