Boeing's commitment to continuously improving this aircraft pretty much underscores its continued popularity. Earned success.. The changes have been so dramatic it's a stark shame that the average traveler/dorky (non-aviation) reporter does not ask if it's a Classic or Next Generation. Nice piece!

Ours are also equipped with a Head-Up Display, or HUD. Hi Drew, yes the flight deck is the best seat in the house, I must confess and the 737 is both a prolific and wonderful airplane; although I may be a little biased. :-) Thanks for the comments.

I envy those "out the cockpit window" pictures. I have a difficult time getting those as a passenger! :) I think that the B737 is what Airbus hopes the A319/320/321 will eventually surpass but Boeing has done a great job of upgrading over the years. I consider the 737 a staple of commercial aircraft and laud Southwest's business model. Its great to see these aircraft continuing on when others are seeing the sun finally set like the Mad Dogs and DC-9's. Long live the Tin Mouse and its younger brothers!!!!! Great article Owen!

My guess is that I'll see it sooner rather than later since the routes that I fly get -700s on Southwest, a mid of smaller Airbii and E-Jets on Frontier, and a mix of Airbii and CRJ-700s on United.

We booked our May flights last October and chose A B seats(as we do every year)specifically because I cannot cope with crowds. When will AA tell us they have changed our booking?

It'll be interesting to see how it goes if/when they get FAA certified for scheduled passenger service.
