I dont think they screwed up i think it was more of a hmmmm this might work, well actually its kind of pointless but lets show the world we can do it anyway

Stick with the Boeing 737-800,
I think that airlineempires messed up the seats and/or the range as
most real-life airlines put more seats in their B737-900's than allowed here
(The 737-900 was to be a B757 replacement)

WRONG .
Due to keeping the same amount of exits as the 738 (and the lack of an attempt to certify if for more), the the 739 can only hold 189.
The 739ER corrects this, I reported this earlier too .
But in real life, the 739 can hold more in a two class config than a 738 ( since the amount of passengers is limited, not the space).

Yep. The 739 is longer than the 738, so you're trading range for capacity. In theory they both have the same 189 certified seat limit, but in practice the 739's increased length allows you to fit more seats in (very helpful for > 1 class configs).

For AE however, the additional length makes no difference because the cabin capacity is determined by the max certified limit, so in-game the 739 is kind of pointless. Wait for the 739ER

Dont forget that in real life the 900 has had very little success. Continental and Alaska are the only operators in North American with a limited fleet.
