Row 12 remains as bulkhead preferred economy.
Row 13-20 with 29" pitch,
Row 21/22 with 38" as overwing exit.
Row 23 to 32 will be 30" pitch
Row 33 all the way to 38DEF (last row of RH) or 39ABC (last row of LH) will be 29"

Also note that like many other 737's, last few rows are narrower seats.
on row 36, only the outboard seats are narrower
on row 37 and 38LH center and outboard are narrower
on row 38 RH and 39 LH, they are even more narrower.

Row 20 (just in front of emergency exit) and row 21 (mid emergency exit) are no recline.


For reference, the current 737 have 38" J, 34" for preferred at row 13/14, 30" throughout Y, except row 31 and backwards are 29", with narrower seats at the back.
On the current layout of the MAX, Row 20 is the only place you will find me (especially to Hawaii).
Row 20 exit row reclines but 19 does not. What I seem to be reading here is that because of the extra row(s) in Y,
exit rows will then be 20 & 21, but NEITHER of them recline? or will the row behind the exit (22?) recline?

We will also be stuck on this beast next winter YYZ-ANU so want to find this out. I guess it will be better than being
on one of those evil little A319s.
