HISTORICAL RETIRED ECONOMY-ONLY LAYOUT 3: WestJet's live 737-800 page publishes 189 Economy seats, Preferred rows 1-14 (row 4 ABC only), exit rows 15-16 and standard rows 17-32. Layout 3 is materially distinct by recline and services. NUMBERED TOPOLOGY: The primary diagram and numeric table agree at189 seats: rows1–32 ABC, with DEF in every row except4. Row32 is full. Earlier192-seat conflict and aft-triple reconciliation were counting errors and are superseded. This is a historical retired layout, not a current in-progress conversion. Preferred is a location zone and remains standard-rated. Config code is a SeatRecon descriptor. Window alignment begins unknown/no_window_seat with the 737-800 grid bound. Historical layout preserved. The official August 18, 2026 completion release supersedes earlier in-progress conversion claims: this configuration is retired; all affected 180-seat and former all-economy aircraft have been converted to 174 seats. 2026-10-01 audit: exact numbered seat positions are separately distinguished from derived furniture, approximate wing bounds, window alignment, rating/operational flags and hardware. No configuration is certified in full; prior verification date remains historical. FOLLOW-UP LIMIT: Exact corrected row4/32 seat identifiers do not independently certify inherited furniture, approximate wings, hardware, conditional recline or subjective adjacency ratings. New aft-seat ratings encode the same published recline treatment without adding inferred lavatory/noise flags. Representative schematic status remains; no per-flight guarantee is inferred.
