How this map was built

HISTORICAL RETIRED ECONOMY-ONLY LAYOUT 2: WestJet's live MAX 8 page publishes 189 Economy seats, Preferred rows 1-14, exit rows 15-16 and standard rows 17-32, without power, WestJet Connect or Wi-Fi. Rows 14, 15 and 32 lack manual recline; some airframes use fixed pre-reclined seats. NUMBERED TOPOLOGY: The primary numbered diagram and numeric table agree at189 seats:32 ABC triples and31 DEF triples, with4DEF absent in the pictured variant. The text permits the opposite occupied row4 side on other aircraft, with no per-tail binding. Row32 is full; previous192-seat conflict and aft-triple reconciliation were errors. This configuration is retained as retired history, not a current awaiting-conversion layout. Config code is a SeatRecon descriptor. Window alignment begins unknown/no_window_seat with the 737-max8 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.
