Hell, the MD88 and MD90 should've had a 2L door, it should've been a no brainer on the 739.

Part of the benefit on the 2L door on the 757 is the lobby area it creates even if using the 1L door. the 739/88/90, its a straight long aisle. When the 88/90s are deboarding you have these massive breaks of 3-5 minutes where nobody comes off because one slow person is creeping up the aisle. Then they get off and 80-130 people come off.

It'll all be somewhat mitigated if they do 1 hour turns at a minimum. IF they try the 40 minute turns, well, they'll need to be some push back. Because 40 minute turns only works if its 180 businessmen who fly 3-5 times a week. I've had 40-45 minute turns from PBI-DTW on the 88, wanna take a guess how many WCs we get on a PBI-DTW turn?

And 80... whats up with your little witch having short hair?!? She does better with the long hair, see...
