GOL can be considered the relaunch costumer of the 737 MAX
The A220/CSeries still has Bombardier ICAO, but Airbus IATA
Every RR Trent powers only one type of aircraft (doesn’t count variants in a family/generation in that)
Trent 500: A340-500/600
Trent 700: A330ceo
Trent 800: 777 1st gen (-200/200ER/300)
Trent 900: A380
Trent 1000: 787
Trent 7000: A330neo
Trent XWB: A350

The DC-10-10 has less range than some narrowbodies including the Boeing 757-200, Boeing 737 MAX series (excluding the MAX-10), Airbus A319ceo and the Airbus A320NEO family (except for the A320neo which has the same range as the DC-10-10.)
The reason for the DC10-10’s limited range (3500nmi) was due to the fact that it was intended for transcontinental domestic flights, and that the long-haul flying would be done by its sister aircraft, the DC-10-30 and 40, which entered service later.

Modern day first class and business class seats are only millimeters thicker than coach seats.
Next time you fly on an aircraft with business and or first class, compare the thickness of each class seats. They’re either identical or slightly different.

Just did some math, some really common seats (UA, AA, and DL) only are are about 2.1 to 2.5 inches thick in Business Class (headrest not included)

The 767 and the 777 have the same nose

Yeah, I agree. That’s why people say the old seats are more comfortable, even in Economy. Many (not all though) new seats regardless of cabin class are lacking in padding compared to previous-generation ones. Meaning that even if there is less material in between/on each seat designed to improve legroom, it still can be uncomfortable for a long flight. Sometimes seat pitch is not the only thing to consider when defining seat comfort. Take width for example, economy class seats are getting narrower than before, mostly due to airlines squeezing 10 seats per row on a 777. A plane that was previously revered to be one of the most comfortable widebodies even in economy, is feared by many travellers just because of the seat layout.

The ERJs have a gear extension, similar to the MAX 10
