Boeing Announces "Radical" Change to New B-737

Genius!

The new interior design for Boeing's 737 passenger jet, the best-selling plane in aviation history, includes an innovation that is as radical as it is obvious: a flight attendant button that is situated well away from the reading light button and actually looks different from it.

"I feel we came up with a really good improvement," Beverly Wyse, Boeing's General Manager for the 737 programme, told reporters at the Paris Air Show.

Only took them 50 years of civil jet aviation to figure that one out. Now how long do I have to wait until I can get some decent leg room?

Standarizing headset jacks would be nice.

I do enjoy watching passengers mistaking the seat lighting bezels for air conditioning.

They need to standardize hard points.

'bout time is right.

Then, the 737 BBJ doesnt even have overhead PSUs, so I really don't care.

speaking of air conditiing it always seems like someone wants to turn it on high which freezes the other passengers into ice cubes!

American Airline tried it for a few years. They took out 3 or 4 rows. People were not willing to pay for it. Thats 10-15 passengers of revenue that they lost.

Just fly in a C-130 some time. After that everything seems luxurious.
