While many on FT may pick flights based on the aircraft that is flying, guaranteed the average passenger doesn't know the difference between a 320 and 737, and many don't even know once they are on it. Much less specifically pick a departure because its on one vs. the other. As shown in some of the other threads, like the BE ones, most are picking based solely on price, and somewhat schedule (again, FT is an exception).

I agree the 320 is a much better cabin for the passenger than the 737.

Nevertheless, it is 6" narrower than the A320 at seat level, which destroys airlines' revenue and reputations.
Confused about the 737 needing fewer C and D checks. Why is that?
