New seats would be my guess. It’s probably nothing we don’t already know. I hope I’m wrong

Probably an opportunity to see and feel the new seats. Maybe with a new destination thrown in.

The new seats are funny. Was just reading on them

The middle seat is now wider than the aisle or window seats, so in order to do that, they shrunk the width of the aisle or window seats.

So now deadheading on us will be even more uncomfortable for our contractual aisle or window seat “when available”.

They didn’t shrink any seats. There was room to spare in the aisle itself since we use 737 seats in the Airbus which is wider then the 737.

So the info available that the seats now are currently 17.75” wide, and the new aisle and window will be 17”, this isn’t correct?

Supposedly the order is pushed back to the end of the year now according to the morning presentation.

So still no word yet on what the town hall was? Sorry to keep brining it up, but just curious about it, I’m on the edge of my seat. I guess it wasn’t that big since there is nothing in the news about it.

Maybe it was just a new destination to somewhere tropical and Ted was playing the steel drums and Bendo on the vocals singing about the coconuts and high fives for going down south.

Just waiting for the Max to get rectified that way Delta can announce their max order and their Airbus slots coming to us.
