American airlines are absolutely bent upon making air travel so unpleasant that people will stop flying coach class. I just flew in from New York and it was an unpleasant 5 1/2 hours. I estimate about 18 inches separated my chest from the back of the seat in front.

Probably more like union rules or something.
We used a diaper genie for a while, but then figured out that walmart bags would work just as well with the right technique.

The new Boeing seating chart.

I don't blame Boeing. They are really doing what their customers want. The airlines want to treat people the way most governments do these days.

(Just get rid of the toilets and hand out diapers. They would be free at first then eventually the airlines will have a $50.00 diaper fee for each diaper. They will of course work with the TSA to ban you from bringing your own diaper because it might be a WMD.)

That’s good “out of the toilet-box” thinking! You have good potential for a Boeing executive! LOL!

“They finally got him off the seat but I’m sure he had some heck of a ring around his supersized rear end.”

As well as a lawsuit.

I’m glad I fly much less these days.

I’m 6’ 3.5” and can’t fit, leg room wise. So I have to buy the economy plus option.

Unfortunately, Southwest does not offer this.

Hand out diapers while boarding. Anyone leaving their seat is a terrorist anyway.

Then with the smaller bathrooms it's going to be problematic dealing with the new enrolees in the Mile High club, which by the way is now a crime if you're caught in the bathroom with more than one person attempting the nasty.

Unless you are flying the plane and without an autopilot it does not count!!!

I got the FULL treatment by the TSA my last time out of CLT, as they had detected “explosive” residue about my carry-on bags and/or body. It only occurred to me later that my last stop before the airport had been an SC horse farm.

In any case, as I had plenty of time before my flight, I didn’t mind it so much except to be asked if I was a “gun advocate”, to which I replied, “Yes, I’m a Second Amendment advocate, but I don’t have any weapons with me.”

That one really shocked me a bit.

Boeing says they'll be able to cram 14 extra seats on the triple seven with the tiny toilet model. It's all part of a plan to make the planes lighter.

Adding 14 more people in the plane will make it lighter? Does that include the extra food and drinks for 14 more people? Does that include storage for the waste of 14 more people?

Next time they design an airplane, just make it bigger to begin.

777’s are primarily used on long duration Flights.

It would be difficult avoiding having to use one of these new Small Lavatories unless you have a Bladder the size of Obama’s Ego.

Leave the seats and put in pay toilets at $30 a visit.

They already hand out diapers. They look like seat cushions.

Probably fertilizer residue. Easy to pick up on your shoes if you walk past a recently fertilized garden or visit a gardening center where they sell bags of fertilizer.
