The Official 757-200 Interior Mod Tracking Thread
 

Over in the 737-900ER thread there is a ton of discussion about the reconfiguration of the 757-200's, especially the reduction in first class seats.

That thread is here:

This thread is about the 757-200 only.

The 757-300 is covered in this thread:

It's disappointing to see this news (20F) as part the demise of the 757.

When will seat maps of the new configuration be available?

What will the the aircraft designation, ie, 75_?

With the downgrade in F seats I'm pretty sure it's going to be called the 75FU, by every DM and PM who's 4 of 98 on the list for 2 seats ;)

Jeepers people. UGs are great, and there're plenty of valid criticism of some things DL does, but how can anyone begrudge them an attempt to actually sell the seats on their planes, part of that being implementing product ratios that make sense? That's what their business is.

Chris @ Delta, what I'm trying to figure out is what is happening to the space when you downgrade the F seats. Does pitch get bigger? AFAIK all the 752 F cabins are forward of the 2nd door, what will the extra space go to?

Two rows of EC.

2 rows of EC in between FC and the 2nd door.

I bet those will be desirable seats.

shades of the original (~1988) configuration: 16F (rows 1-4), bulkhead, 9Y (rows 10-11, and 12 DEF opposite the lav), then the 2L/2R doors ... I always felt like 10-11-12 were sort of "F-lite" due to the semi-private cabin area, and yes they were extremely desirable seats ... iirc some of the NW birds were similarly configured

well there's already a 75E so we can't use that for "Enhanced" ... how about 75L for "Less"

Here's a photo of the configuration you are referring to:

that would be the one ... obviously I had forgotten that the lav was on the right side, and the seats were 12ABC

if I had stopped to think about it I would have remembered one night in Jul 2000 ... I was leaning against the sidewall in 12A, waiting for SEA-DTW to depart, when the GA tapped me on the shoulder and handed me a BP for 3B

Thanks for posting, TurnLeftAt2L.

I wonder, are there any plans to install lavatories with vacuum toilets? Vacuum toilets are so much more sanitary than the smelly blue liquid.

One row of FC is two rows of EC?!? What's the pitch, 28"?
