According to the Delta website, the Boeing 737-800s have 160 seats, not 174. (https://www.delta.com/us/en/aircraft/boeing/737-800). Also, the good 'ole 737 AOM lists the seat capacity as 160.
I don't mean to troll lol. Personally, I view the Aircraft Profiles as a good resource for realistic technical data, so I like to see it as accurate as we can make it smile

Should this have been a help desk ticket instead?

Fredrick.

I appreciate the feedback. The one thing I’ll be happy to answer with this feedback is that with a variety of different codeshare air lines between real world Delta, we strive to find a balance for things such as seating. Different code share airlines have a variety of seating arrangements on their fleet. We had to find a compromise to find what suits our airline as a whole.
