These changes prevent the 737 from performing like a "rocket ship". ;D

I've never flown anything like a 737 but I do remember as a kid we had just flown into Melbourne from Perth and we had hours to wait for a flight to Tassie so I went up to the observation deck at Tulla. (poor kids can't do this anymore.  >:()

I was there for hours intrigued by DC-9's and 732's as we didn't have them in the West.
Watching some of those 737's launching with 20°+ pitch.
I reckon they might just be a rocket ship.  ;)
