To steal a quote from the financial genius in my household "It's only a good deal if you need it". We need a plane that does the aforementioned flying.

A 4'8" acrobat might love the 737NG (the guy from Oceans 11 comes to mind) and his skills would definitely come in handy getting in and out of the seats, and he would probably only rarely bang his head on the overhead, but most human beings simply do fit comfortably in the NG.

I mean think about it, you can move your seat back or recline it but you cant do both!

When riding in the back, the 737 seems a bit smaller/narrower than the rest as well.

Because it is.

I get so used to the bus that when I ride on a 757 Im caught off guard when my bag can't roll down the aisle.

That said the Bus is a death trap.

Only if you fly it like a Boeing. You have to outsmart an airbus...not everyone is up to the task.

But then, just seconds before your finest moment as you gracefully transition from primary flight mode to ground mode...she/he/zie(?) calls you a "Rah-tahhhd" several times and brings you back to reality. 😁
