I completely agree. The 737 is very similar (probably worse) in comfort than the DC-9. At least in the 9 I could get in and out of my seat without seriously contorting my back. Not hating on the 73N as I like the trips and stage lengths, but it's by far the least comfortable of the 3.

Our Bus fleet has two types of pilot seats. The older 320's have an older, manual seat and it seems the lumbar supports aren't as good as the newer 320's and most/all of the 319's with the nice electric seats and lumbars that work. On the older seats I would actually have them completely collapse rolling down the runway when we applied takeoff power and started accelerating - and that's not because the Bus was a rocket, the old seats just weren't as sturdy as the newer ones.

Happy to be talking about something other than scope sales, contracts, and the other usual BS for at least one post.
