Summer 2019 Schedule and Equipment Changes
PSA: Looks like the summer schedule has been finalized overnight. I had a couple EF alerts for schedule and aircraft that pinged this morning. Fortunately for me, my layovers in July all shrank and are still comfortable. Hope no one got hosed...
Perhaps this is also why folks were having reservations magically disappear over the past few days??

This is common practice as of late IME. Most of the equipment for July that I've been looking at over the last month was showing 739 with 12F. But, the schedule/equipment change locked in 16F (at least on my one purchased flight with 739).

The pitch increase isn't new except on the -700s. the -800s already got cut down to 12F from 16F when the pitch was increased and Premium Class was added.

Lost our FC seats, sea>boi, because of an equipment change. Part of a longer itinerary. Offered $75 CS certs to fly in Y. Seems fair for a short journey.
Every trip in the last 2 yrs I've had on AS/QX has had a change. Very irritating.

the map for AS310 only showed blue Main Cabin seats throughout (no Saver, no PC) when I booked a few minutes ago
