The Striking Differences Pilots Notice When Training On Airbus & Boeing Aircraft

There are some striking differences in how Airbus and Boeing aircraft are piloted and built. Pilots have their preferences, with some preferring the “luxury” of an Airbus cockpit and automation of flying, while others prefer the “real flying” experience of Boeing. Bombardier built the CSeries, now Airbus A220, as a sort of hybrid between the two. Generally, pilots “stay in their lane” and will either fly Airbus and possibly transition through its respective variants, or Boeing aircraft and its aircraft types.
