How this map was built

Official group fleet lists MAX8 both159(12/36/111) and161(16/36/109). Original official asset filename expressly names737-800/MAX8; exact image grid matches159 split: ACDF1-3; ABCDEF6-12,15-32;32DEF only. Green Premium6-10 and16=36. Binding the shared original image toMAX8 combines explicit official filename with matching type-specific published fleet counts, rather than a currenttypepage link (thatpage exposesonly161). Per-tail variant assignment and number of aircraft remaining159 unresolved. No invented dimensions, hardware, power or seat-specific recline/window alignment. Independent review dated 2026-10-01: the bound original159-seat diagram explicitly marks overwing exits beside rows16 and17, added without changing seat IDs/products/counts. No current161-seat geometry or historical window-station inference is transplanted. Other monument and hardware details remain unresolved.

What changed

  1. Oct 1, 2026Independent Alaska source completion: correct supported bound-original exit and USB claims; withdraw unsupported historical monuments/hardware, qualify pitch/recline and ambiguous shared787 numbering without replacing its scaffold.
  2. Sep 30, 2026Remove inherited seat hardware/power/product claims not established by retained configuration-specific sources.
  3. Sep 30, 2026Add official fleet-listed159-seat MAX8 using shared original airline diagram; aircraft binding uncertainty explicit.
