Wasn't DL interested in Airbus's pitch to sell wider aisle seats on the 319/320 (taking advantage of the plane's wider aisle vs. the 737) to persons of size?

Looks like the 739ER will have 20 F seats, and there will be no exit doors aft of the wings (similar to UA).
Thanks!!!!

Little disappointed in the number of F seats, but expected that. I am much more disappointed in the pitch in both F and Y particularly on the 737-900. 37" in F makes me think of the A320 situation where if the pax in front reclines, they're in your face or lap.

FYI, the F seats will be the same Weber/Zodiac 6810 seats as on the MD-88s and MD-90s, where the seat bottom moves forward while reclining. In Y, the 717s will have the Weber/Zodiac 5751, while the 737-900ER will have the B/E Aerospace Pinnacle. Both aircraft will have winged headrests on all seats.

I think the ex-song 757's have 37" pitch in F right? What is really horrible is that some of the Y seats will have 30" of pitch, and these could be use on 5+ hour flights. Will these be etops certified?

The 75X have 38" pitch in F. Note that the MD-90s, DC-9-50s, and 737-700s also have some Y seats with 30" pitch. And yes, these will be ETOPS certified.

Has anyone heard if the bulkhead walls between F and Y will be soft or hard on either?

I don't know for certain but I would imagine that the 717 will be soft and the 739 will be hard given that one side is a closet according to the seating chart.

Where did you hear this?

I could see a 717 replacing a DC-9, MD-88, or 319 on GSP-ATL, but I doubt mainline will fly GSP-DTW until the 50 seaters get really low in numbers.

How did you find out? Where did you hear this? I don't have a source of this.

I take it this is a good thing?

DL 5751s are not your friend

The 5751s with PTVs are the same slimline seats used in Y on the 737-800 and 747, and the updated 767-300ERs. In my opinion, they are thinly cushioned and not comfortable for flights lasting more than a few hours.

I believe the first DL plane with the BE Aerospace seats is the retrofitted A330, however they do look potentially better than the Weber.

The very first 717 routes will be from ATL and almost certainly be routes that current see DC-9-50 service. Expected to start scheduled service in October.

The very first 739ER routes will be from ATL and expected to be on short/medium length domestic routes that see a mix of 738/MD90/757 aircraft.
