WestJet has been quietly storing its fleet of Boeing 737-600s in Marana, Arizona, over the past few months. Before this though, they reconfigured a single 737-600 with their new cabin that's now standard on the rest of their 737s - and I had the chance to fly it back in August last year!

Just as I was about to upload the first draft of this, I discovered that WestJet has removed the 737-600 and its seat map from their website entirely :( So, although certain parts of this video may seem more optimistic than others, I'm pretty certain this will have been my last WestJet 737-600 flight. www.westjet.com/en-ca/aircraft/boeing-next-generation-737

I have seen the Westjet 737-600 in Windsor, Ontario years past.

@cascade_mountain_railfan 3 года назад

I heard it is just being stored as an alternation sequence until the Max re enters service completely. So it still has a lot of years left with Westjet

I love coming back and seeing your old videos!! Your commentary is incredible. Your voice is soothing my man. I miss This -600

@davidberryman9688 3 года назад

That was a very informative and interesting video. Even if the airline retired the aircraft, it nonetheless doesn’t take away the value of your production. Thanks for your efforts and dedication.

@gmitchellfamily 3 года назад

I did this trip in early January also on a -600 anticipating it would be my last flight on the type. Guess we were right!

@Ozinater 3 года назад

I always seemed to get "stuck" on a -600 when I was flying with WS on routes liks YYJ-YYC, YXX-YYC, YKF-YYC (and occasionally between Toronto and Calgary). Now that they're about to be gone I am definitely going to miss them! :(

Kinda sad that WestJet silently retired all 737-600, kinda unfortunate, but lucky enough to fly it, twice in 2016

@ahmedshakeel5112 3 года назад

They didn't retire.They're grounded. I still see on flights on WestJet, there still operating the 737-600

@gmitchellfamily 3 года назад

Have heard the 600 described as a bit of a rocket before. Also these flights are not exactly heavily loaded these days, and you need a pretty small fuel load to fly YVR to YYC!

@MattCook206 3 года назад

Great cabin. Thanks for the review

@airfreak75 3 года назад

The 736 was a niche aircraft designed for a very limited role. It was overweight then let alone now. Much like the A-318. It would involve another aircraft type but the A221 can carry the same load much more efficiently. DL has theirs configured to 109 so it would be basicly an exact match. But is filling that capacity market that important right now?

@eqplanes 3 года назад

Wounder if they will ever paint the new livery on to the 737-800s ,700s, q400s, sab 340s and 737 maxs in the old livery.

@davisbyer4791 3 года назад

Yes. When there's money to spare. It's taking AC years to do theirs as well

@jfmezei 3 года назад

Transport Canada database shows 13 737-600s registered to Westjet. So they haven't yet returned them to lessors or sold them. Due to 737-8 grounding, it is possible Westjet started to renovate the -600s to make up for grounded 737-8s, but after doing 1, the virus hit. Also notable: There was speculation on whether Southwest would buy the C-Series or the 737-7 which Boeing hasn't delivered yet (due to lack of orders) Southwest selected the 737-7 which means Boeing will produce the model, so remains to be seen if Westjet might buy some for the smaller density routes. On the other hand, When Westjet got Dash-8s, it likely reduced the need for smaller 737s.

@jacesobey6498 3 года назад

I am sure hoping that West Jet will still use some 737-600s for at least a few more years.

@gmitchellfamily 3 года назад

More likely that they keep their MAX-7 order IMO. Which would also be cool!

@aprilstagat214 3 года назад

Thank you for this informative video! Curious to know when they removed the 737-600 from their fleet? We were looking at flights YVR-YYZ at the end of May and we still saw 600 as choices. Thank you. We're now booking the Dreamliner since it's the same price as 737-800 and 737-700.

Oh man, live TV on Westjet. As a kid I would always watch Mayday on the plane if it was on Discovery Channel. Was that bad?

@ahmedshakeel5112 3 года назад

I flew this exact aircraft from Victoria to Calgary on March 12, 2020. Wanted to fly on a 737-600 again. Seems WestJet is too lazy to fly it down to Canada from Arizona. Once they bring it here to Canada, the planes can fly more.

@dors5969 3 года назад

Where I live, one airline has the same seats on their Boeing 737-900ER and some 737-800, they're calling those seat Business seats. Is it considered premium economy in Canada?

@gmitchellfamily 3 года назад

It varies depending on route but there isn't much difference in Canada vs US. On that particular trip they were probably sold as Business seats, but a similar style of seat on a 787 would be considered Premium Economy.
