To be honest I don't know how the two companies could actually work together. Different a/c, I just dont see it going to work and coming from someone who works for Ryanair. It would cost too much to change to all 737-800, and Ryanair only wants one type of a/c. So will the two work together or Ryanair just takes it's routes?
I dunno I will ask about when im next in work

Can I just ask? When all the seats in a cabin recline, why is it an indication of selfishness for the individual in front of me to choose to recline their seat?
If I recline my seat the space between seatbacks remains the same.
NickBarnes, get over yourself.

yeh if you recline your seat it remains the same but then the person behind gets the same problem
why have a dig at me other people have said exactly the same thing in this thread as me.
sorry for having an opinion

The only reason to recline a seat is not annoy the pax behind, but because the 'upright' angle is too painful for anyone over 5'6". It has been stated, in air rage discussions, that the seat-back angle of airline seats is the same as used in interogations when wishing to deprive the victim of sleep and cause discomfort.
I have travelled on the more comfortable airlines, where their overwing exit seats do not recline as per the norm, but the fixed seat-back angle was acceptable. The discomfort to pax is not recline per se, but the amount of recline. Half the amount would be all that is necessary to avoid the back ache caused by present designs. The fixed angle would not effect the price of manufacture.
Thus, a non recline seat is OK if the fixed angle is suitable. At the moment it is not!

Air Berlin's Boeing 737-800s, by the way, are sort of a different aircraft than Ryanair's. AB has what can be dubbed as "high-end" -800s, while Ryanair has the very very basic low-end model.

I read today on Boeing's website that Air Berlin had ordered 25 x 787's with an add-on possibility of 15 more. Would MOL go along with that do you think? How would he utilise them? Or.......do you think he would run a mile. It is ahuge order and probably not fit for his routes.
On the other hand it may be that there was never a deal anyway!
Oh life is cruel sometimes.

What exactly are the differences that make the Air Berlin 738's 'high end'
