How this map was built

Numbered seat grid, MCE allocation, wing rows, exit-seat and no-window labels verified against American view-only sample AA779 DFW–EWR on 2026-11-05, retrieved 2026-09-30. Equipment CSS 7OA. Total/product counts and pitch/width checked against American fleet table. Temporary availability is not structural and does not affect bookability. Monument coordinates, recline/bed length, amenity details, fleet counts, individual window alignment beyond explicitly labelled blanks and retrofit dates remain unverified. Historical unsourced monuments and seat ratings removed when grid replaced. This proves the sampled variant, not every aircraft tail.

What changed

  1. Oct 1, 2026Source-supported factual/provenance corrections and explicit source limits; preserve numbered seat topology and counts.
  2. Sep 30, 2026Replace inferred row grid with observed American 7OA numbered map; correct MCE/exit/no-window locations, remove unsupported monument and per-seat rating assumptions. Sample AA779 2026-11-05.
  3. Sep 30, 2026Partial primary-source audit: replace estimated pitch/width with American published measurements; retain historical verification date and derived layout.
  4. Jul 14, 2026Initial American 737-800 config (172 seats: 16F First / 24N Main Cabin Extra / 132Y Main Cabin). Total seats + 303 fleet count from AAG FY2025 SEC 10-K; per-cabin split from Wikipedia. MCE modeled as a zone within the Main Cabin per AUTHORING §6; row grid derived from standard 737-800 geometry (aa.com bot-blocked). Sources archived under data/sources/objects/.
