I am just writing about my recent experience about my travel/commuting and I have been left behind by AA 737 metal. Sad fact. I has not happened to me on the Airbus. Not sure why the 73 seems to have weight issues. I have been on the bus for 11 years and never had a weight issue. I have come close to what back then was called a weight critical flight, but so far I haven't left anyone behind.
I had a nice three hour sit
not too long ago and played around with WBD* and WBZ* on some routes that had affected me and guess what? Half of them on 73 are weight restricted. Even found two ZFW restrictions. In my personal experience weight issues are much more common.
I am not here to point fingers and playing a six-year game "mine is better than yours". All I care about is to get from A to B whatever my reason is. I didn't used to be a problem, except for the feds or maintenance. Now it's 50/50 if I see the leg being flown by a 73.
