Airline squeeze: It's not you, 'it's the seat'
Airline seating changes will directly affect passenger comfort, convenience and cost. (www.cnn.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I'm one of those people who sometimes has to use the seat back to haul myself out. At 5' 4", I fit the seat fine, but there just isn't always enough leg room to get your feet under you.
At 5' 10" I am not big, but yes, overweight. Add to the plight, bad back and knee, it makes traveling coach quite uncomfortable. I have to shift more than others normally would. Thus, First Class becomes a necessity, not a luxury.
What a great idea. Now we just have tofigure out how to change the seat configuration at each airport in order to accomodate the various sized passengers....oh and don't forget we'll have to add some additional ground time for the flight so that we can change out the seats. Terrific idea. NOT!
All I know about the situation is that so far the airlines don't have any solutions. They keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result. More and more people dislike airline travel and the majority of the airlines are broke. Throw in the TSA and we have a helluva business model.lol
Everybody is either discriminated against or they are called something that is not PC correct and the whinning starts. What a pathetic bunch we have turned into.
I for one no longer travel by air due to the seats being so cramped. I tend to drive or go by train, easier way to travel
WOW! In the mid 1950's I worked for North American Airlines at LGA in Operations, we flew DC-4 with 80 seats (domesticly) set 3 & 2plus2 Blue rooms at the rear .
40# baggage free, charged 10cents per # over that. went out with full flights .When we received our first DC-6 from the facory with 102 seats, also set with 3&2 plus 2 blue rooms.
never hapd a complaint about uncomfortable seats,
On the arrival at LGA on the first nonstop DC-6 from BUR (Burbank Ca.) C.R Smith then Head Honcho of American was on the ramp with a hand held counter checking the number of passangers comming off.When he finished and starting asking passengers how they enjoyed the cramped space on a long flite, no one in my hearing said it was uncomfortable. The good old days !
