AA are placing these in fors 16 and 17 to reduce the number of seats down to 150, to allow AA to only crew 738s with 3 cabin crew. Soon to be introduced on all 738s (along with Main Cabin Extra).

They're on 16B, 16E, 17B and 17E on 738s with MCE. They reduce the number of operational seats from 154 to 150 permitting the flight to be crewed by one less FA.

To block the seat. 737-800s with MCE installed have 154 seats. Since the FAA requires 1 FA for every 50 pax, middle seats in rows 16 and 17 are blocked to reduce the capacity.

There's a thread on it already somewhere...

A-ha! That explains the gaping hole I saw on the seating chart!

What is this?

A poorly-titled thread?

Cheers.

Do anyone knows what is this? It looks like a deluxe cop holder for frequent flyers at coach class
Ya know, they let soldiers in uniform board first. Wouldn't it at least be fair to honor our friends in blue by not forcing them into what looks like a very uncomfortable middle seat?

I just ran into the same thing on a BA flight FRA-LHR. I gotta admit - the seat-sized cup holder was nice!

BA have this on some ex-BMI birds as well as new A320s with non-contertable seating in CE.

Does the "barrier" stay down for take off and landing?

I sure hope the lady in the photograph knew you were photographing the seat and didn't think you had a foot fetish.

OT, but I got yelled at by a FA on a regional flight in India because she thought I was taking a picture of her. My picture (of the seats) managed to get her elbow, I believe.

I hope you're not using seat parts as an excuse to put together a photo of a whole woman.
