inside AA's sky interior 737

[FA Mikey]

A combination of the larger window openings, blue lighting in the ceiling and new luggage bins, there really is a sense of space with the new Sky Interior. Boeing allows airlines to customize their lighting and American has pre-programmed the following:

* Boarding and de-boarding: blue top, white side lights
* Take off and landing: blue on top and blue on the side
* Cruise: wall lights are off, top is blue
* Night/Sleep: dark blue on the ceiling, wall lights are off
* Meal: Amber on top and side
* Sunrise/Sunset During Takeoff/Landing: Deep orange tones

On top of the nifty colors, the overhead bins have been improved to mimic the Boeing 787 Dreamliner’s bins. They are larger and are able to hold more luggage (48 more bags to be exact in the 737-800). They also fold up into the ceiling to provide more cabin space.

Very Cool! Thanks for sharing.

Actually, it is 48 more bags than an MD-80 (which has twenty fewer seats).

It holds only four more bags than AA's current 737-800 configuration without the Boeing Sky Interior.

Some nice additions, but how much you want to bet that we have no replacement parts in stock?

Pay you, pay me, pay us alll!!! Boeing shut the 737 line down for the at least the last 3 months to get the "Sky Interior' going for all 737-all airlines, no choice, no extra cost.

That's part of the "Lean" philosophy - nothing on order 'til needed, and the parts ordered arrive "JIT" (just in time) from the supplier. You DO believe that mantra, don't you?

Enjoy the weekend, drink some suds, play with the kids and wife, and forget about the company for a while - THAT is real.
