FAA wants to shrink airline seats even further

Don't they first need to shrink American's fat asses?

Watch the video in the link. United Airlines is pure evil. Once again, they recklessly endanger the life of a child and violate the federal law that states they must pay in cash twice the fair. More passengers need to know about this rule and assert their rights.

Glad I could help.

At this point the safety of the seats is the least of my concern.

I probably wont fly ever again until all of the planes built during the DEI period are all retired.

All the recent incidents are pilot error. MCAS is a toss up, but you should know how to fly a plane in those two crashes. They didn't. American pilots did. They all dealt with MCAS and figured it out. There are checklists, but at some point you ignore and shut everything off that you don't "need" to fly.

I'm beginning to think the recent Korean air crash was a suicide by the Captain. Similar to the one where the German guy just flew into the mountain as the captain was taking a leak.

i don't think it was a bird strike. You land at the beginning of the runway with a gear up landing. You don't do a go around if it was a bird strike. Had clearance to land on the proper runway in sight. They should have been trained to lower the gear manually before being certified on the plane. Either way a straight on landing they would have stopped before the ILS system wall/burm if they used the full runway.

As far as seats being 6'3", it sucks. But I trust pilots and they're literally making the same planes over and over. No fan of DEI, but you're basically given "lego" instructions to build the plane. I don't think it's like the grocery store where they hire the local retard and they put the drain-o in the same bag as the lettuce.

If worried about DEI I wouldn't buy/drive a car either. You're kind of screwed if you're not gonna deal work with DEI BS. How you gonna transport yourself?

Bullshit! The planes are falling apart, and pilot error does nothing to mitigate my issue with DEI. The Pilots are DEI also. There's greater care to violate every passenger that walks through the terminals than is given to the flying and manufacturing those planes.

There was always the gamble playing the odds, when flying. The thoughts in back of your mind, what if your plane is one of the few statistics.
Now we got that plus, all of the DEI related bullshit, which carries greater odds, something will go wrong besides classic fear of flying issues.

The door on the 737 of recent vintage was the only manufacturing error. The others were 100% pilot error.

Who the hell is afraid of flying either? It literally is the safest form of transportation with hundreds of people. You'll die in your car before a plane crash. That's stats.

Safety aside you never know when or how you'll end up on the wrong side of the soup Nazi.
If you boarded a plane and some asshole picked an argument with you and it appeared to be escalating verbally from you as well as that person. You'll be kicked off the plane, if you question where you bag can and can't go, you be kicked off the plane. The stewardesses aren't even hot anymore. So it stings that Biff and Laquisha are pulling you off the plane because of your patriarchy. And not any common sense, deducing who's at fault.. The crew has way too much power to make any judgement call to throw you off. Even if the plane is over sold and someone more important than you ended up missing a seat. Chances are great you could be ejected from the plane to make room. None of this is hyperbole and happens all the time.

Flying used to be fun once upon a time.

I recall looking out the window and seeing dinosaurs roaming around.

oh wait, that's the twilight zone.

But, flying was still fun, and felt like a luxury experience almost.

Maniacs and terrorists ruined it and now it's a drag.

I had planned on doing a lot of traveling but I don't think it's going to happen.

that’s an old thread, Dan was still posting here. hope he’s all right
