I wish I'd made the switch a lot earlier and not put my musculo-skeletal structure through such abuse, especially on long-haul flights.
Boeing are essentially seating you in the same seat they designed in the 1950s for the 707. Unbelievable. Imagine a modern-day haulage driver having to put up with a 1950's truck seat for 16 hours, transporting goods on the road?
Absolutely my thoughts. Unfortunately, I am going to be stuck on this aircraft for the foreseeable future. Is there someone who can find a way to appeal against this to Boeing?
