    Tbf calling it peasant class is more honest. The new planes economy sections must have been designed by the same people who designed cattle cars.

      This is why I hate the Boeing max line. It’s not because of the safety things, for those I decide are self-correcting and thus I can wait those out.

      No, it’s the new layouts they enable and offer that has seats cramped even harder, washrooms without full enclosure - no really, a public restroom divider with a 4-inch gap at the bottom between my farts and the galley - and cheap porous plastic everywhere. The whole thing is a McDonald’s lobby you can’t escape for ours at a time, nor express the slightest frustration at being in.

      If it’s Boeing, I’m not going.

      Temple Grandin has done a significant amount of work on designing animal handling facilities for minimal stress and ease of flow.

      We would be so lucky if she turned her skills towards airlines.
