You'll know they've really reached routine when people's main complaint is about not having enough leg room :^) Also wondering what the timeline comparison is

You'll know they've really reached routine when people's main complaint is about not having enough leg room :^)
Also wondering what the timeline comparison is here too. Wasn't one of the problems with Columbia the advanced age of the shuttle? I'm assuming this isn't comparable to the situation with spacex?
