Sure does and I hear that the configuration will be 12 seats Envoy and 376 in coach
Will those 12 Envoy seats have 200" of pitch, 2 FA's per Envoy passenger, shower and mini bar for each Envoy pod? I see these will be mini hotel rooms.

Nope. This is LCC. The configuration is 4/395.

The plane is a Stop Gap plane till the A380's come online, then it will seat 8/690.
And speaking of changing seat pitch, LCC management is now having Republic change the comfortable 72 seat config. in the E170 to 76 seats and removing the closet. Lovely!

Unfortunately, yes.
My friend, who is a pilot for Rjet, was told this info the other night by a maintenance supervisor while they were at the hanger in IND doing their recurrent escape slide & door training. He thought the guy was kidding, but the instructor confirmed it. He didn't say when they plan to make the changes, just that it will happen.

Might happen. When I was at UA, there was a 747-100 configuration that was 48F/402Y! That disappeared a while ago.Sure does and I hear that the configuration will be 12 seats Envoy and 376 in coach
It was domestic F, so not too luxurious (not even as nice as international C), and was used only on Hawaii and other domestic runs (as opposed to international). Upper deck and Zone 1 (from Door 1 to the nose) were F. The rest -- all Y. It was quite something to stand at Door 1 and look alllll the way back to Door 5 and see nothing but 3-4-3 seating.
Lots of humanity.
A 747-100 with 450 Seats????? I doubt that, not a 100 (the Stub).

What about the JAL 747-100SB that crashed with the aft pressure bulkhead failure in 1985?
That was the worst single aircraft disaster in history with 520 deaths.
That aircraft was configured 25/538.
For some reason I was thinking of the 100-SP
The -SP and the standard -100 are/were different.
Maybe not everything, but certainly more than some people.

Sorry...I meant to say 747-100SR. With requests from Japanese airlines, Boeing developed the 747SR as a 'Short Range' variant of the 747-100. The SR has a lower fuel capacity, but can carry more passengers – up to 498 passengers in early versions and more than 550 passengers in later models. The 747SR has a modified body structure to accommodate the added stress accumulated from a greater number of take-offs and landings.
