Unservicible Pax Seats on B787 Question
I am not sure if this is the best spot to ask.
Is it an actual legal requirement to lock seats in the upright position for TKOF & LDG on B787 for flights operating into Australian ports?
I recently paxed on a B787 from Singapore to an Aust port, my seat was a wobbleing mess and as part of it the locking function function on the seat was unserviceable. the seat was spring loaded fwd but could not lock. Normal sitting it reclined. I asked for another seat but that request was denied, I was told it has been like that for a while and the plane is full.
I have never seen on any PUS /MEL I have used this listed. Is it likely that a B787 this would be legal, (I doubt it personally).
the company only offers a phone number and has refused to give me a contact email or postal address to communicate with them. Basically I just feel I have to suck it up and never travel on them again but I would love to know if this machine has a bizare get out of jail card in their PUS.
This was a Singapore registered aircraft.
