Re: 747 First Flight 50th Anniversary

JetBlue Increase Seat Pitch

I am quite curious about JetBlue's new move of MRTC, or MRT2/3C.

They are removing 1 row of seats to increase seat pitch to 34 in. for 2/3 of the cabin. For the front of the cbain, the seat pitch remains for 32 in.

What do you see as the reasons for not doing so through-out the cabin?
