One thing that most of us have in common when an airplane finally reaches its destination. It’s the dreaded “Post-Flight Hunching” where we all stand there awkwardly hunched over beneath the overhead waiting for the aisles to clear.
Scott McCarthy of the WSJ included a link in his Twitter feed that took me to an article about the new Boeing 737, the flagship model of Southwest and many other airline’s fleets, which is being redesigned. The interior is called The Boeing Sky Interior and includes much more headroom and bins that gently angle to avoid the dreaded hunch. The new model has bins that pivot up which will mean you can actually stand up when you’re in the inside seats underneath the bins. Well, sort of. There will still be a challenge if you’re over six feet.
Other improvements of the newly redesigned plane include color LED lighting in the ceiling to enhance a sense of spaciousness, speakers for every seat and brighter colors and decor throughout.
I can’t wait to fly on a new 737 myself and test this out, now what I want to know is why does it take so damn long for the doors to open when I land at an airport anyway?

The Green Plane is Southwest’s newest initiative in a company-wide effort to save money and fuel.
OUr friend Johnny Jet flies about 150,000 miles a year and takes fastidious notes of every mile in the air. He recently wrote about Southwest Airlines media day where they unveiled a new plane that will clean up the way airlines do business.
From the nose to the tail, this 737, the airlines only model, will be much greener.It starts with the little things: they’ve replaced those awful styrofoam cups with eco-friendly paper ones with built-in sleeves to keep the cup from burning passenger’s hands..
The plane is equipped with NextGen satellite-based navigation, which means flying more direct routes and emitting less CO2.
The plane’s carpet is made of recycled materials, they have lighter fake-leather seats which save 2 pounds per seat.They even use smaller lifejackets to save weight.
They use Pratt and Whitney’s eco wash system which removes grime from the engines in an environmentally safe way that saves fuel and makes the engines last longer.
In other news, the conpany’s CEO told him flat-out that Southwest won’t be charging for bags this year, or even for a second bag. Let’s keep our fingers crossed on that.
