767 capacity

Would it be possible to get Sami's thoughts about it?

Sure.

Wrong.

Max capacity is 172 as per Boeing's docs

I linked Boeing docs which show that max capacity for 762 & 763 is more than in AWS.

Wrong.

172 is for the MD-90, however, the same rationale may also apply to this scenario.

doh...

I understood that 172 is for MD90.

My point is that: max capacity for MD90 as of Boeing docs is 172, in AWS it's also 172.

max capacity for 762 & 763 stated in Boeing docs is more than in AWS -> your link about MD90 topic is totally irrelevant!

The 767 capacities are directly from Boeing's documentation, same doc as the MD-90 capacity. Both of them have been referred to here already.

It's the exit limit that matters - which is the maximum certified capacity of the plane. (however some carriers may have made modifications to the specs allowing perhaps a higher max capacity, like Easyjet with A319 and second overwing exit, and that is something that is not and can not be modelled - at least untl there are some actual facts from the manufacturer directly).

well, that is hurting 762 and 763 quite badly...

With additional exit 762 could be configured with 290 HD seats, nobody in their right mind would not probably do it (using HD seating on typical 762 routes should affect your LF significantly, so we can safely assume that standard economy is "worst" seat that any player would use in 762).
Currently 762 in AWS can be configured with 216 standard economy seats. If max capacity would be changed from 255 to 290 this 216 would become 245 or 246 (290/255*216=245.6). With 246 standard economy seats exit requirements even without extra emergency exit would be fulfilled (it's below FAA limit 255).
That is why I think that you should actually use number with additional overwing exit (290). As I understand max capacity in AWS is a proxy for cabin length. But currently for 762 (and 763) it's not proxy for cabin length (cabin can accommodate 290 HD seats) but instead it's a proxy for number of emergency exits. And that is IMO against your own logic, Sami.
