blimey SW have been flying 737's almost all versions since they were born - bit of c*** up
poignant ditty to this thread to wake everyone up lol
I recall Tranavaia had a 737-222 (ex UA) PH-TVH they used solely on the scheduled LGW-AMS flight that was rather old and had a few bits of metal riveted on it to ensure it stayed together and was tonnes heavier AEW/DOW than the rest of the fleet - hence they put it on a dedicated route
it was very nose heavy - and she went out of trim very easily especially if busy in business class and less pax in Y down the back - funny old thing and took getting used to.
hard to imagine a 737 Classic going out of trim but this one was a pig - I gather the -800 has to be trimmed with the pax spread around sensibly
had no problems with 737-200 to 400's nor the 757 - all were chuck it on and it flew
