    Optional?!

    Imagine the lawsuits if/when somebody dies due to an onboard fire/smoke.

    I wouldn’t take this seriously if it weren’t for the fact that Boeing’s propensity for up-charging for basic safety features didn’t contribute to the crashes of two 737 Max 8.

      It’s optional based on on the interior buildout of the plane. It depends on the number of seats and seating arrangement. When it’s not needed for an order, they bolt in a “plug” that fills the space where the door would have been.

      Optional, yes. They put emergency exits in different places depending on the seating arrangement ordered.
