Which code corresponds to the 737-900 RECONFIG?

• A. dh4
• B. q400
• C. 73j
• D. Vcr

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is how Alaska uses fleet codes to identify a specific aircraft type and interior arrangement. For the 737-900 RECONFIG, the code uses a numeric prefix to indicate the aircraft family and model, with a final letter designating the interior configuration. Here, 73 indicates the 737-900 series, and the letter j shows the reconfigured interior. So 73j uniquely identifies the 737-900 with the RECONFIG layout.

The other codes point to different aircraft or configurations, so they don’t represent the 737-900 RECONFIG. For example, one code represents a different aircraft model entirely, while another corresponds to a different regional or domestic variant, and a third isn’t a recognized Alaska fleet code for this aircraft type.
