Also, my FIRST flight of the year !!! PHX-SLC-SJC. Finally experienced the all coach 738 PHX-SLC. Wasn't that impressed. Ya, a tad more pitch, but having not travelled in a few in coach, the seats are freakin narrow. Way better than an RJ tho. Got my 3-day upgrade SLC-SJC on a T-fare 733.

[B]NOW TO THE POINT The plane would not pressurize. Geeez, plane is full, other later flights were RJ's with 1 more 733. GA was awesome in giving perodic announcments as to the status. Not good news, but let us know timley....very good in keeping the troops informed and anxiety to nil. After 40 minutes, they advised the plane aint moving, but they are taxing another 733 from "the hanger." I thought, wow! Do they have spares for this reason scattered about? Maybe called, "Hot Spares?" Never experienced that before. Awesome. Only about an 1:30 hour delay. Kudos to the SLC staff!

Walked on and had a seat-gasm...compared to the all-coach 738; nice big comfy FC seat, even though it was an older 733. I so miss the FC on so many flights.
