If you mean comfort, sure. If you mean safety, no. The 737 has one of the greatest safety records in history and since they’ve now both rescinded the rule allowing pilots to fly this without new type training and the software that caused problems for untrained pilots has been modified, it will be incredibly safe.
@@alexandertsonev9017 bruh it’s better to fly for 100$ and have something called SPACE AND COMFORT than pay 20$ and get cramped like a chicken in a chicken coop
@@GiggityGiggity_27 If it was a transcontinental flight, then yes. But on a 2hr flight, I don't see the point in paying crazy money for a seat. Most people are exaggerating and whining too much, they don't realize that low-cost carriers gave the opportunity to explore the world while saving money on traveling costs, which is not a small thing. That's just my 2 cents, of course.
Considering the skepticism surrounding the Max I wouldn't be surprised if Ryanair slow deliveries to a trickle until the aircraft proves itself in revenue flights. 197 seats though sounds grim, it's bad enough already on the 800s.
The 757 was not a aircraft suitable to replace a 737. A 737 or a A 320 family aircraft has a wingspan of less than 36 m, which means they are in the category C. Most airports are optimized for this category, and the taxiways are short for this smaller aircraft. The 757 has 38 m wingspan and is category D together with widebodies like the 767 or the A 310, they cost more landing fees and the slots for this aircraft at the airport buildings are less common (there are less numbers of slots) than for category C.
According to an article I've read, the 757 might coming back as the 757 Plus, basically a modernised version that has new engine's, avionics, a new wing or wing improvements, new sky interior etc... It also said the passenger version of the 767 could be re-engined with GE GEnx 2B's and brought back as the 767-X. It's thought that the 757 Plus/767-X will be Boeing's NMA.
@@simonm1447 I do see your point however I don't necessarily agree with all of it. Yes it may be a cat D aircraft and that would imply some working around to fit in some of the small destinations and airports they fly to. But the 757 is an actual 200+ airplane, it's sits so high that it wouldn't be a problem fixing big fuel efficient high bypass ratio engines and it has a slower vref than the 737 which would make it suitable for shorter field performance.
@@GodzilarOG7337 Of course high bypass turbofans would fit under a 757 wing (the aircraft has similarities to the 767), but it could not beat a 737/A 320 series aircraft in fuel consumption on shorter to medium long routes. The wing area is around 50 % bigger compared with a 737, which enables a higher MTOW and more range, but causes also more drag. So it may have made sense to develop a Neo variant of the 757, but it's clearly no aircraft which can really replace a 737.
I feel like most of the people complaining about Ryanair in the comments haven't actually ever flown on Ryanair. Or possibly never even been on a plane. Ryanair is dirt cheap and the comfort is above what I would expect in my opinion.
I agree. I have never flown on any low cost airline, but I think I think its fine. 10€ for a two hour flight is a steal. Especially on a shorter than one hour flight I would rather save the money and deal with a bit less room.
I am disappointed you didn't talk about _how_ they made it possible to get 200 people on board and what makes this aircraft unique. Technically this is a different aircraft type, known as the 737-8200. Had anybody spotted the mid-cabin door not present on any other 737-8? 😉
This video would've done really well with a seat map showing just how the heck they managed to fit 197 people into the aircraft. Did they do away with the overhead bins and slightly overlapped the seats? gone to an 8 abreast seating layout? Forced people to stand the entire flight?
I reckon RyanAir could play musical seats with the toilets and gain two extra places. And if they did away with the First Officer, there's another seat and bang, back up to 200. Genius!
@@Sheldon-yc5uh The way ULCC's are going, they would do away with the pilots and flight deck if they could. And then they'd have the gall to charge premium fares for the front-facing window seats too!
...Ryanair actually did consider a "stand up" seat for a bit which was kind of like those "leaning" benches at bus stops that allowed you to take a bit of the load off, but didn't let you fully sit down.
So many moaners in the comments section. This is simple as that you don't like Ryanair you don't fly it. Take your own jet instead if you don't like. Let me guess you are first to book Ryanair flight when you see £14 ticket right? Every other short haul airline has the same leg room.
This seems like a replacement for the 757 which was a cattle car for the economy flyer. I flew in the 757 from Shannon Ireland to Chicago. It was not an enjoyable experience. If the 737 max is to replace it I’m not sure it would be an improvement
...well Ryanair did consider "stand up" seats to cram more bodies in their existing aircraft. Considering their reputation for rough landings, not sure if MCAS would be the only safety concern. particularly given the larger diameter LEAP engines with that stubby undercarriage.
Assuming RyanAir stick to their existing seat pitch but shift to slimline seating, it will remain more comfortable / generous than the massively over rated BA short/midhaul fleet that deliver a trult densified experience in some of the most uncomfortable seats in the air, globally.
@@mattharbon presumably then you weren't in one of their newer hyper densified lower seat pitch than Ryanair a320/321s? Or perhaps the journey was more than a couple of years ago?
@@journeyingjohn3275 Less space, possibly. Seats were comfier though, which is more important. I had my bag shoved under the seat in front so wouldn't have had legroom anyway. For a 90 minute flight, I wouldn't expect catering beyond the trolley service provided really.
Airbus got a new order from Sky Express for 6 new A320 neos. Might be a nice video idea and positive news considering the low number of orders from airlines these last couple of months.
It was never really all that "broken". The crashes were directly caused by poor pilot training and poor matainence from the third world airlines that were using them.
@@Kipetio The issue with the MCAS system was that it had a single point of failure, the AOA sensor malfunctions the MCAS system malfunctions. That however is a minor issue, because the MCAS system can be easily and quickly turned off, something western pilots knew how to do.
The 737 800 which Ryanair are flying right now have 33 rows of 6 which is 198 passengers. We returned to our home in Spain last week and made a point of remembering
What's to hate is the stupidity of tourists that will fly on them without thinking ... manufacturing consent has never worked so well, so many people are brainless
Ryanair giving up 3 seats? 😲 Suppose they'll use it either as a marketing strategy of "1mm extra leg room if you pay another £30" or just simply slap another £30 onto all fares to "compensate" for being so generous.
There's always a hater with some banal inane quip whenever this aircraft is brought up....try to stiffle yourself going forward....like a useless damn dog on a bone.
@@davidoldham7476 Mr. Oldham take it easy please don’t blow your lid up . Apparently you work for Boeing or have shares in the company . If you had a loved one among the 346 who perished due to Boeing’s criminal negligence you would be saying things differently . Stay safe
@@q80aziz If you have a loved one who died you should blame the crappy pilots and maintenance of the third world airlines that crashed. Boeing cut corners on the MCAS system for sure, but any reasonably intelligent pilot should have figured out pretty quick why the trim wheel was going crazy. Hmmmm maybe it's the system that alters the trim?
@@TheOwenMajor Cutting corners and insisting that additional pilot training and simulator time was not needed is the cause of the crashes . Should third world airlines hire top gun American pilots to fly their aircraft as well as maintenance crews ? Boeing wasted its century old reputation with such an aircraft and the number of cancelled orders confirms the once aviation giant is going under . As a proud third world citizen I must say thank God for Airbus and bravo Europe .
@@q80aziz Airlines control the training. western airlines included the MCAS system in their training programs. That's why the few times it happened to western airlines(And it was few because if you properly maintain the AOA sensor you don't have issues) it was hardly of note. Consumers have short memories, and airlines will be even more concerned with economics going forward. The FAA, Canadian and European authorities have allowed the Max to continue to use the same type rating which was the goal all along.
...at least the engines on those fit nicely under the wings at the centre of gravity so the aerodynamics are more balanced and no need for a kluge like MCAS. So they're a little noisier and not as efficient. 737-200s are still operating in Yukon and Northwest region of Canada as they can land on an unpaved runway without ingesting foreign matter into the engines. 53 years ago the 737 was a great concept as it's mission which was to bring jet service to small town airports without the need for special handling equipment (it even had it's own self contained boarding stairs) hence the reason for the stubby undercarriage. Boeing just milked it too far given the effect of the engine placement on handling and to placate the airlines who were too cheap to retrain aircrews on a "new type" came up with MCAS to make flying it it "feel" like the NG version. As I understand, after re-certification, aircrews (at least in the States) will now be required to retrain on the Max series as a "new type" anyway. Over 300 lives and almost two years lost for nothing.
I think that the 737max 8200 is basically the fuselage of a max 8 with the same capacity of a max 9. The main difference will be the passenger's comfort onboard.
I'd never fly Ryanair. I won't fly Spirit, either. Although, given a choice between the two, I'd rather fly on Spirit's Airbuses. Boeing forgot how to build airplanes.
They will be unbearable. Southwest’s 737-609’s are barely comfortable with 175 seats.... the extra 22 seats for Ryanairwill be barbaric for anyone over 5’11”.
@@lukegriffiths6569 I know, I fly both versions! The individual I was replying to was talking about the - 600 (edit, I know see that was a typo on hus part). Anyways, most of the space is coming from shrinking the galleys for tge cabin crew and removing the 2 aft toilets (into the aft bulkhead).
I have flown many many times with Ryan air in the 737 800 & cannot fault the service or equipment, however Boeing have gone too far by trying to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear all in the name of $$$$'s The 737 has past its time & no amount of add ons will work, Boeing need to do a redesign from the bottom up. I will never ever fly in the Max end of story.
