The plastic can be changed, that’s a design decision that’s being disposed of by Alaska.
You didn’t happen to notice:
- The much quieter ride through takeoff and climb.
- The inch wider seats
- The 8 inch wider cabin
- The bathroom you can turn around in
- The bathroom without trash all over it because the trash can are too small.
- The aisle you can pull a bag down
Not to be inflamatory but try to take the 737 beer googles off next time and try to see the difference. People are getting fatter, taller and bigger, not skinner. The 737 is extremely uncomfortable if you are larger than a 6 foot male at 190 pounds.
I know nothing about the 737 as a pilot, but as a non first class passenger it’s an inferior airplane, you could be one of the few passengers that doesn’t notice.
