232 seats on this 737 MAX 10 narrowbody. I will avoid this plane. When I see this, it reinforces my desire to never ever fly again after retirement.

The mid exit door is new to the 737. I assume more exit doors are required the lengthy and PAX capacity of this aircraft.

Everything seems to fly full post lock downs … At least those have some serious O/H bins …

Got it! As a 6'5" 275lbs guy I have been pleasantly surprised the past decade as far as seat room. I fly mostly Jetblue but my last AA flight was also very good with the seat upgrade for more space. My worst experience was an Alitalia 777 around 2002 - little Italian engineers made a plane for little Italian people - it was a miserable flight to and from Rome.

Yep - it’s like $40 more to get a bit of legroom …
Kindle works better than a paperback …

I understand. I also was on a Alitalia widebody around that time (2005), and it was so very miserable, I said to my self "never" again.

I am packing up my bags right now about to catch a 7 hour flight, two hour layover, 14 hour flight, four hour layover, two hour flight, two hour layover, then a 45 minute flight. Then a one hour uber to get home......

Flights are so booked, currently it takes some painful routing to get home,
 
You do understand the airlines - not the manufacturer - dictate seat pitch. Have you been on a Southwest 737-800 or Max-8? Even the non-exit rows are pretty good for my 6'5" 260-pound frame. On the other hand, American's 737-800s are pretty dreadful insofar as pitch.

Boeing and Airbus offer capability and capacity. It's up to the customer to configure cabins to suit their needs.

I was about to say this.

Airline preference dictates seating configurations, Boeing is just promoting how many it can handle in a single class configuration.
 
I would wonder where the lavatories are. Most are in the rear but some have mid-cabin lavatory that is usually for the premium seats.

737s usually have one in front by the cockpit and one in the rear. Even on multi-class configurations, I don't think there would be room for a mid-cabin.
 
I recently flew on a max 8 to our vacation destination and an 800 on the return, with Sunwing. A couple years ago the max 8 would have scared me but I assume they had to get everything top notch after they got caught killing all those people on the 2 planes that went down. I remember reading the posts here, guys saying it would never happen to American pilots. Lol. Glad I did my own research.
 
Just flew home Saturday after a 74 day South American Cruise. Fort Lauderdale and Charlotte were absolute zoos-and all planes were absolutely full. I wouldn't think flying in to Salt Lake from Charlotte would be a thing-but it was. Maybe skiing-IDK.
The airline industry as a great business model-make flying a big of a hassle as possible-and then put you in an extremely uncomfortable seat for an extended period. Yea-great business model!

But if you want to stay home in retirement and not get on a plane-I guess that's a choice. It keeps CoPart busy.
