The only thing that matters is if the airplane is matched intelligently to it's mission and that's where we're failing miserably.
What good is a "dreamliner interior" if entire rows of seats need to be blocked because the airplane can't get the fukcing job done?
Delta aircraft all have nice new refurbished interiors. The passengers are the ones who are fixated with new and shiny.
Replacing old 757s with 900s that carry the same passengers for less fuel is a sound strategy. I can't remember the last time in the last three years I have been weight restricted on the 737, another urban legend you guys like to to exaggerate and perpetuate ad nauseum.
