You said it’s taller. No s**t.
I’m saying proportionately, it’s very similar to the 739 with how high it is off the ground

imma test tailstrike then

So I can understand why, though the bulk of Alaska’s fleet is made up of 739 they never deploy them on routes to smaller regional airports with shorter runways.

-700s go brrr

Yep
No 739s go to SNA because of the steep rotation needed
Although BUR gets them, they don’t takeoff as steep
