Couldn't agree more so long as all they operate are 737s. Either A. they would have to tear out 2 rows of F seats and only have 8 seats up front or B. rip out 2 or 3 rows of main cabin seats. Neither of which is happening. You would see them pull out a row of F seats to add a row or 2 of coach seats before either one of the for mentioned ideas.
VX has close to almost lie flat with an 8 class F cabin. Here is the kicker though. Paid F is $1300 each way for a 5 hour nonstop to OGG from SFO. Paid F on AS OGG to OAK is roughly $730 each way. Less seats to sell=higher prices to make up for less tickets. So if Im flying from the bay area to OGG its a no brainer simple choice for me, save almost $1200 for the trip per person. On a 5 hour flight who cares if the seat reclines back 56 inches. To each his own though, if one thinks 56 inches of pitch and mood lights is worth $1200 for 10 hours then by all means
