But that's it. They've got nothing else going for them from a customer or operator standpoint. Luggage is no longer bulk loaded, the galleys become prisons when pax enter or exit the bathroom, and the windscreens need to be wiped down every time a pilot sneezes. As [MENTION=295120]jaysona[/MENTION] pointed out multiple times above, the only reason AC has this plane in its fleet is because of economics.
Economics? Sure, but it's a bit of an euphemism. In plain language, because they got them cheap.
End of the story. Except, they also figured that the worst Y gets, the happiest customers are.
