Please note this question is directed to only pilots who flew at least one of the aircrafts listed in the poll, not from simulator experience...let the pilots have their say. Many thanks

To be honest my friend we don't have many airline pilots on here, and I don't think that any of them fly those aircraft...

Plus to get a true answer from this you need a pilot that has flown nearly all of them to tell you which is nicest to handle... Most pilots stay on one type for a good number of years... So they kinda become biased to that aircraft.

And that boils down to more than just the aerodynamics....airbus's are fly by wire so your input has little to do with it's aerodynamics.

I doubt anybody on these forums still flies the Airbus A300 or A310.

I had a post asking for any commercial pilots around here to get some answers and only 2-4 people were pilots but seemed they were for a few months and dint like it becuase of the pay as a starter and you barely got any flying time.

Discount airbus's from this. No one actually knows the real feal of a new airbus because its all electronic. Any unwanted flight characteristics are corrected by the computer, if the pilot pulls up too hard, the computer corrects it, if the pilot has too much power applied the computer corrects it. They could have very easily installed "Takeoff" "Climb" "Cruise" "Descent" "Land" buttons. The very fact that airbus installed a work table tray in the pilots seats should tell you that they did not intend to allow pilots to actually fly the aircraft

One would assume from their long range success and the fact they are the most recent, that the B777 and Airbus A330/340 series probably top the list.
