Worked on a 737 and a CRJ last month, night and day difference in the wiring

I spent last Tuesday tracing a fault on a 737 and it took forever because of all the bundled runs. Then I did a CRJ the next day and the wire separation was clean, labeled every 6 inches. Anyone else notice some manufacturers just make it easier than others?

Take it from me, labels every six inches sounds like a dream compared to digging through bundled runs.

Man, you are preaching to the choir. Did a whole weekend at a flea market last year where some guy had his cables just tossed in a big cardboard box like a pile of spaghetti. Spent an hour untangling a single bundle of audio cables and still couldn't get them all straight. Labels every six inches would have saved me from that mess and a headache that lasted until Monday. Plus, you can actually see what you're grabbing without playing a guessing game. I'd take labeled cables ten times out of ten over that nightmare. Some people just don't get it until they've been there themselves.
