Pilots tend to get hung up on length and neglect the fact that width is a big part of the overall passenger experience. In any case, most passengers agree that competent operation is more important than airframe size. Or so I’ve been told…

So snowflake , telll me how many accidents have happened on rwy 29 with WB aircraft in EWR the last 30 years???? Must not be that unsafe. You are the only idiot in this whole discussion. Company says its good, FAA says its good, Boeing says its good , airbus says its good. But not you, the weakest link. Time to look in the mirror.

While I would agree that most underestimate the importance of width as compared to length for the overall experience, for what you will hit with the aircraft fuselage behind you, length does matter.
