Aside from its dispatch problems, the pilots liked it because it had the 737-200 advanced engines on it, and it had a lot more oomph. Whenever I flew it out of Oakland (provided it was working and I didn't have to nonrev on Southwest), I always noticed little things, like overspeed on landing, odd landing gear noises, flap noises.

Thankfully Stage 3 restrictions made the plane not worth the upgrade.

Guess they had to really bleed off the airspeed on flare with a really high pitch attitude. I just went through Flight Technique Analysis and it was a bear to get it right at 122 knots to prevent a balloon and float down the (sim) runway.
