With the size of America's girth getting bigger all the time, I don't see Boeing making any headway in its competition with Airbus regarding seat configuration. Fourteen extra seats are great but if the girth problem causes undo delays when someone's trying to unhinge themselves from the toilet but can't, the emergency crews gotta have that procedure done by direct force. You see, several years ago someone with a perfect butt-plug fitted girth got stuck on a toilet unable to get the strength to remove themselves from the toilet. But as hard as they tried the couldn't budge off the seat. The reason is that the new bathrooms on the lane use a suction system to keep things lowdown and out of the way. But his guy with his airtight butt and the suction trying even harder not to let go, kept the passenger on the toilet seat many hours longer. So, now if it's Boeing , it's just not going. I suppose it was a painful ordeal probably trying to dislodge this whale but with metal rods or something, They finally got him off the seat but I'm sure he had some heck of a ring around his supersized rear end.

. 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.

Why not make every seat a toilet?

On a few airlines, who’s notice the difference.

[NonValueAdded]

If it’s Boeing, forget about “going”

[Kartographer]

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.

Anyone who flies on airliners these days has already surrendered their freedoms and will be easily herd into camps someday.

[MrB]

Wow! how are they going to fit 14 more toilet seats in the lavatory when they are shrinking them?

[Zathras]

Wait till the EPA requires a catalytic converter be added to both engines.
This is a wide open window for leading ‘16 candidates to focus on.
This directly effects a ultra blue state with impossible regulations.

Ok, normally I am anti-government regulations, but this has gone beyond the pale and is not bordering on unsafe. There needs to be a mandatory seat size, center isle width and bathroom size. And these standards should be sized around a 6’ 2” 220 lbs male or a person that is in the 80 percentile.

This is getting ridiculous. There is no room to change a baby’s diaper in the bathrooms NOW. My poor incontinent father can’t be changed on a plane because the bathrooms are too small to allow privacy with his caregiver. Disabled people can’t get to their seats and often have to catheterize themselves for flights because they can’t get to the restroom.

There is no space between total strangers on these planes. Sardines have more personal space in the can. Enough already.

Make the planes comfortable, make one of the lavs accessible for all, and charge thousands more. Better not to fly than to be treated worse than concentration camp trains.

With my long legs,I’m already doing the B-52 maneuver.

[smokingfrog]

What’s next? Pay toilets?

[Maceman]

Guess air travelers will just have to learn to poop standing up.

Instead of urinals, they’ll have defecals.

[Night Hides Not]

Like all disasters, women and minorities will be hardest hit.

Makes it harder to join the mile high club.

Just hand these out:

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

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.

[Moonman62]

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.

[EQAndyBuzz]

“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.

[cicero2k]

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.

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

[Political Junkie Too]

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.
