Numbered seat grid, MCE allocation, wing rows, exit-seat and no-window labels verified against American view-only sample AA572 DFW–ORD on 2026-11-05, retrieved 2026-09-30. Equipment CSS 7OM. 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.

- Jul 14, 2026Initial American 737 MAX 8 config (172 seats: 16F First / 24N Main Cabin Extra / 132Y Main Cabin). Layout derived from SEC FY2025 10-K total (172 seats, 89 aircraft) + Wikipedia cabin split (16/24/132); aa.com bot-blocked, news.aa.com fact sheets unfetchable.
