I just found even with slimHD seats, the maximum seats of 736 can not reach 149, the Certified Passenger Capacity. The actual maximum seats now is 132, 11% less.
I am not sure the new deck size is a bug or the original deck size when the server started was a bug, and now it has been fixed.
736 is one of the most popular planes in the new server. But, after such a change, it may become less competitive.
The deck size given to the 736 at the beginning of the server was wrong. It can only carry 132 in real life. 149 is the capacity of the -700. Therefore the fix fixes the bug
I believe it's a fix as the -600 became unfair.
IIRC the Boeing 737-600 is technically certificated in real world for 149 passengers – identical to the bigger 737-700. The only reason seems to be the fact that the 737-600 has the identical number of exits. However, no operator was and is able to squeeze as many as 149 seats into their 737-600 because the 737-600 is shorter than the 737-700.
The maximum capacity is 132 (similar to the 737-500 I think).
I am quite sure that most 737-600-operators would decide to put many more seats into their 737-600s because of the inferior operating-costs of this aircraft-type.
So for those that already have 736s leased, are they still able to use the 149 seat flight config with the slimline, or does it require a retooling to 132 seats?

Well, that is the discussion on another topic here, off course the owners of B736's want their current configuration maintained, other players (among myself) find this unfair (it is bug using) and would like to see all current B736's reset to the current/right configuration.

Not thinking through the overall size difference between the 737-700 & 737-600 properly, combined with the ATE suggesting the improved profitability of the 737-600 I restarted my airline and have been only using 737-600s so far. However, I would expect that I should be made to reset my 737-600s to a correct configuration. Also, I have now switched back to the 737-700 (in anticipation of this change)
