How about creating a preferred seating area for Executives on the E170...There isnt an exit row, so it is the same seating throughout the plane...How about blocking off the first 4 rows for preferred seating?
To go along with this...Would it be possible to give 3 or 4 inches of extra legroom for these 4 rows...would that mean losing a full row of seats in the back and taking the capacity down to 72?
The first suggestion I think is relatively easy to implement, but the second is definitely questionable.
