Bulkhead rows can only be selected at the airport. The rear half of the aircraft usually has one to three rows blocks for airport assignment as well to accommodate families, children traveling alone, etc. SO if the front half of the plane is clocked and the rear half has some blocked rows as well then that leaves about 50% of the seats which can be selected by non-elites.




There is a website called seatguru.com. It shows the interior layout of every single aircraft of most major carriers. Your count is just variants of the type. Here are all of the types and all have different seat configurations:

757-200 Version 1
757-200 Version 2
757-200 Transcon
757-200 Ex-TWA

767-300
767-300ER Version 1
767-300ER Version 2
767-400ER Version 1
767-400ER Version 2
767-400ER Transatlantic

777-200ER
777200LR





THAT is a blatant LIE! Here is exactly what I posted:



Again, your math skills are seriously lacking. What's 169+480? I think the answer is 649. Where did you come up with 500? I never said that. You, however, "exaggerated" the figure:



Another blatant lie. Are you even capable of telling the truth?

All I can say in return to all of that is, you're an idiot and the reason airline employees are so mean. Because we have to talk like people like you who have NEVER been employed by an airline, NEVER taken any airline training, NEVER seen the inside of an airline policies and procedures manual (unless an employee showed you one to prove you have no clue what you're talking about), yet you think you know everything there is to know about how airlines run, their policies and procedures, and what they can and cannot do. You fly 6 round trips a year and act like you fly for a living. I know people, myself included, that fly 6 round trips in 6 weeks, no need to waste a whole year and only go on 6 trips. Just because I know you're wondering, most of my trips are international. Again, people like you are the reason there are airline employees that hate their jobs and are mean.

You call my posts lopsided but never owned your blatant error on that one! And what is this security training that you speak of? Are you a TSO? If so, you should have identified yourself as such to the moderator of this board.

Let's just say for a minute that you have NEVER worked for an airline, oh wait, that's right, YOU NEVER HAVE! There are things that airlines do and train their employees to do that you are not privy to. Security being one of them. I can't quote an internet address because there isn't one. The training is company proprietary and is not just passed out to anyone that wants it. It very clearly states at the beginning of the training that "the information provided in this training is for your eyes only, and is disseminated on a need to know basis." I'll translate that for you so you can understand: PEOPLE WHO DO NOT AND NEVER HAVE WORKED FOR AN AIRLINE DO NOT GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. By the way, what the hell is a TSO? I identified myself as a former airline employee for a reason. Former could mean I have been out of the field for 2 days, or 20 years. I didn't say, and it's none of your business. As far as not owning up to mistakes, how about you try again. I very clearly stated that my first post was not accurate, and that I knew it was an exaggeration.

Get over yourself. You're not as important as you think.
