I don’t know that I’ve ever flown Boeing, and now I’m sure that I won’t.

Hey, if it’s good enough for the astronauts...

I’m just a bit surprised the airlines haven’t started selling vouchers for in-air restroom access, with swipe access control at a higher rate.

I believe Ryan Air in Europe was experimenting with charging to use the restrooms. They're also charging for carry ons now.

There's also talk that this is the next step for things:

or could the real purpose of this be to deter people from attempting to join the Mile High Club?

I would conjecture that homos are more likely to do this than normal people.

Back in the 70s, Russian passenger planes were nothing but converted WWII cargo planes with seats. Not a single bolt or screw or rivet had been tightened since the war.

Well, at least the cabin was pressurized. It WAS pressurized, wasn’t it?

If they were any smaller, you wouldn’t have room to do your business.

This can all be blamed on Emirates Airlines and their design input due to the 150 777 they have on order. Helps bring more Jihadi’s to the USA

Danggit! Now I’ll never get into the ‘Mile High Club!’

Who knows. They never flew high enough to pass out. There wasn't an overhead storage to hang air masks from. You could see cars and people from the air. Seriously, the pilots must have only had highway maps because they would fly right above streets and sharply bank when they had to make right hand turns onto the next road.

The runways hadn't been maintained since the war, either. Trees and bushes would be growing out of the pot holes and cracks. Whenever a plane crashed and burned, they'd just shove it off the edge of the runway which gave a nice warm fuzzy feeling... NOT!

Why am I not surprised...

Speak for yourself.

Last time I flew on a 707 I was 14 Years Old, 47 Years ago.

My Father and my Uncle had to fly on a 707 back in 1959 from New York to California. They both got snookered at the Airport Bar because they couldn’t get over the fact that they were getting on an Airplane without Propellers.

I’m not sure if either of them had ever even flown before.
I guess I’ll have to check with my Dad, he’s only 92.
