Wow, I wonder which seats are they going to use in business/first class? I was on a 75L and I can say I liked it a lot, hope they install the same Y interior as in the 75L.

When will we be able to see some pics? Thanks for the info OP.

Thanks for the info OP.

How did they make room for the additional 2 F seats without taking any away from Y? Is the closet gone?

That was the plan

Good; I am looking forward to flying on one of these updated planes.

I have a question or two regarding this. I have future flights on the 757 domestic.

There has been talk that the first class A/B side of the MD-80 has less pitch than the E/F side of th cabin. In reference to the extra 2 seats being added to the 757 domestic, it is obvious that they will be added to the A/B side. What are the chances that the A/B side will have less pitch that the E/F side of the cabin?

I understand that they are taking out a closet to add these two seats. With that said, when they do a refit, refurb, etc do they take out everything within the cabin or just work around the seats? Just figured I would ask.

In this case, they are getting new seats, so the old seats are obviously coming out.

Airplane seats are attached to tracks on the floor and are actually fairly easy and quick to remove.

Several airlines have 24 F seats in the front zone of the 757, and I don't believe there's any pitch differential between left and right side. (And DL even manages to squeeze 26 seats in some of their 757s).

Is there any chance that GoGo wil be installed when the 757s are in for the cabin retrofit?

GoGo will be rolled out onto the entire domestic fleet. The 738s are next. MIA-LGA is switching to exclusive 738s in the spring, because of GoGo.

Good for gogo but bad with only 16 first class seats. Is this going to be temporary? I was looking forward to the new F seats on 757 on this route as it is the one I take the most.

Entered service today on:

AA 441 TUL-DFW
AA 1441 DFW-SFO
AA 566 SFO-DFW
AA 515 DFW-LAS

Aircraft 610. It will be the only one configured like that until next year.

Is it entering into any type of standard rotation like the 75Ls did when they entered?
