Limitations on special Boeing 737-800 series

Okay thanks anyone giving exact information here!

Thats nice to know for ATC for capacity planning. Changing RFPL´s is a matter of time, we understand, and we know that it´s intended to change all RFL´s accordingly.
But the "problem" is another one. Since we are working some areas, where traffic is very dense and by nature limited in performance (e.g. joining routes over FFM to the Southeast) we as controllers appreciate the performance of the 737NG since they are almost no problem in handling at any time. Now since several flights are conducted lower there is a conflict of more flights within dense flown levels.
The interest came just because of our observation and if something is intended to be changed. But we do understand the facts and appreciate safety culture like that.
Anyhow It would be much more helfpul if departing traffic advices the "real" RFL on intial contact to avoid unnecessary conflicts. But this is not a problem with the 737-800 fleet, this is a general one.
Best cooperation and a lot of thanks to the BA-fleet, they always want their RFL´s as inserted in the FPL or they advice accordingly on initial contact any change.
Okay people, so far thanks to anybody, I will watch If there are some further comments within the following days. Have a nice weekend and always happy landings
