I'm guessing that these will be on the EDI/GLA shuttles at peak business times? Must be a recipe for disaster when these old birds go tech.
It always surprised me that these planes are in any way economical. They're a lot wider and heavier with 2 aisles but only have 1 seat extra per row. They obviously are worth it but it always struck me as an oddly small increase in capacity over a 757 (or a321).
