Unless they want to lay a camping roll across a row of seats and don't mind my feet hanging in the aisle.
All good points. Obviously CO book was well prior to 117.
Also curious how SWA would get an airplane that heavy out of DEN, especially in the summer. My MAXs going on 3-4hr hops are barely squeaking by with bleeds off at midnight, when the temps are relatively low. We're fighting brake energy limits every night. Daytime departures are stopping for gas in CLE on the way to the east coast....
