In the first of coach on American Airlines 737s, the leg room is good. But the construction of the seat legs in the last row of first class give the aisle seats in the first row of coach a more narrow legroom space than the middle and window seats. Is that the case on Alaska Airlines, too?
Not sure about the leg room. I would say the main disadvantage is that the armrest is immovable if that matters to you. And with rows 7-9 there is a little spot to put your phone/tablet to watch entertainment. If in row 6 you will need to hold it with your hands (or use the tray table and look down). Also if sitting in the aisle the first class divider curtain can sometimes get in your way. That being said I generally like the row 6 aisle seat.
