I am sure that FR is just about to have number 100 delivered. Can anyone confirm/deny??

according to ryanair the answer is no :sad:
Whilst we can tolerate a link to the Boeing website, a link to Ryanair's is too 'commercial' to accept. Anyone who is really interested should be able to find it.
But not sure how up to date this is. :bored:

According to www.jethros.i12.com, a quick count reveals 103 B737-800s now in service.
No it doesn't. The first four in the list are -200's It's 99 B738-8AS. EI-DLH should be the 100th and should be the next to deliver

Having flown with on to legs with FR recently from CORK to DUB and LBA to DUB I am wondering why the wingletted-8AS' dont seem to use the inbuilt airstairs? Seems a very un-Ryanair-ish policy. It is noteworthy that all a/c were older versions, both in the EI-CXX range of reg, and all still with cloth interiors and old colors. I have never seen FR not use the inbuilt stairs before, and the a/c had the sirstairs slot. I dont think Boeing puts that in unless theres a stairs actually fitted, whats the story?
Can anyone shed any light?

Cannot comment really other than I flew out to OPO and back in January.
Out on CSX back on CSO, both with winglets. Airstairs were used on both flights.

Some of the older -800's are to be sold though soon (presumably EICSA onwards) to keep the average age of the fleet down
