No question that pilots have preferences for one plane vs. another.

My Dad was a commercial pilot who flew a number of different planes throughout his career (including the Lockheed Electra, 727, DC-10). He LOVED flying the DC-10 and said flying it was like driving a sports car vs. a boring sedan.
