Black Exhaust

I live in Myanmar and have seen this plane taking off from RGN on 3 occasions. It has always stood out because it is a absolute beast and leaves a heavy black exhaust trail as it ascends.

Just ridiculous! It is time for standard seat pitch and width that is acceptable for all passengers. The taxi ride to the airport gives you a better quality seat.
