so they are using the 316t as standard, which isn’t unreasonable either

it’s like the A330-300 with different MTOW and they use the highest one

There’s over 200 dead bodies perfectly preserved at the bottom of Lake Tahoe.

They are pristinely preserved because of the low temperature (35 degrees) and the pressure.

The Boeing 707 flew transatlantic flights for many years in the 1950’s, 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. This was considered the pinnacle of luxury at the time, even in economy with its 3-3 configuration. Fast forward a few decades, people are calling the 737-MAX a tight aircraft in terms of width that they would never fly on, even though it has the same fuselage width as the 707 and thinner walls which means it actually has a wider interior…

People think that they are ‘going backwards’ after decades of flying the 747, 767 and 777… And this problem is not only present on the 737, some others believe that the 757 and even A321neo are uncomfortable for longer flights which are not necessarily true.

I would love to know the size difference between an MD-11 and an A321

If you’re saying that this is uncomfortable than a 737 will be too since both are roughly the same size
