    Alaskas 737 Combi aircrafts go by M also.

        And just for the heck of it, adding to the list,
        73G (737-700)
        73H (737-800 with winglets)
        G is the seventh letter, H is the eighth

          I thought that was the code for the 747-400Ds (the non-wingletted Japan domestic version)?
          Wasn't the combi code 74M? At least that's the way it was at LH before they converted their 744 Combis into pure pax jets.
          My very old OAG schedule lists 74D as 747-300 combi and 74E as 747-400 combi. I presume OAG uses the standard. 74M refers to 747-200 combi only. "M" stands for mixed configuration so that part I understand. For example, MD 11 combi is M1M in the schedule. And 74C is 747-200 convertible.

              Damn AJ, stop confusing me with logic as the reasoning for airliner codes .

                    When I was in maintenance control I found some of the identifiers very confusing. The 747-249 were physically identical in every respect to0 two -245's that were still on the assembly line and Bowing converted them from JT9D-70A power to -7Q's. Yet we needed to note the difference for operational purposes because the two -7Q powered and 4 -70A powered aircraft had the variable zero fuel weight option. Thus the -249's were noted as 47Q and the -7Q powered -245's were 47Z. That what happens when the old computer system only allows a three digit identifier. The newer computer programs can be modified to allow larger I.D. fields but old habits are hard to change.
