Conversion of sCO 737 to include E+?
There is probably a website or wiki or something that would tell me this but I don't know where it would be. How far along is the conversion of the longer range 737 (transcon) to include full E+?
I have been avoiding sCO planes completely but have a couple of flights to WAS coming up and they seem to mostly be on 737s now. I'd rather cram myself into a CRJ to DEN and connect to an Airbus than suffer the old CO Y for 5+ hours.

I avoid flying PMCO 737s as well for the same reason. The CRJ-700s are more spacious and the seats more comfortable in Economy Plus than the PMCO 737s. I hope they also replace the seats on PMCO 737s in coach which are old and extremely uncomfortable in addition to adding E+.

It's worth pointing out that the 737s have some of the roomiest E+ in the whole fleet.

Since the majority of the sCO aircraft are far from "old" (almost all are much newer than the entire A319/320 fleet) then it is clear that their seats are not "old". I've never heard anyone cite a preference for a CR7 compared with a relatively new 737 - that's a first for me
I don't understand why, but I've heard this a few times.

I was talking about about Sky Interior Aircraft, not aircraft with E+. And I was only including sCO aircraft, since those are the ones with sky interior. Also any existing aircraft before sky interior was introduced, cannot be modified to get sky interior. There are 264 sCO aircraft with E +2 B787-8 Dreamliners
22 B77-200s
10 B767-400s
13 B757-300s
41 B757-200s
45 B737-900/900ERs
88 B737-800s
32 B737-700s
11 B737-500s
