I'm going to really miss the 737 and will shed a few tears come July when the last ones leave us.

Yes, so far the ex BMI wasn't as bad as I had made out in my head, but the only G-Gat I have been in just seemed, well...odd. As if I knew it wasn't BA I was flying on. Maybe it was just from reading this forum,not sure.
I only remember the 200 for the noise and the feeling of sitting on top of two rockets!
I too will miss the 737. Whenever a flight included bumpy, windy, snowy, foggy or a roller coaster section of the flight, I was never worried in the 737. Boeing sure to build them good. Never felt as easy on an Airbus, again i have no idea why. I would love to be able to fly on it's last sector as I has been a part of my working life for many years. May they rest in peace and sunshine.
