***holes on planes

[MacTavish]

There is nothing better than a little pork on the red eye from the left coast.

Instead of cramming more seats made only to fit people shorter than 5' 6" and under 150 lbs into the plane, they should reduce the seat count by 1/3. Take out all the middle seats and give some elbow room. Raise ticket prices by 1/3 and revenue is unchanged. Profits increase because less people means less weight, therefore less fuel. Seems reasonable to me.

Just lean over and stage whisper "I hope we crash land. You're going to be the first one eaten". and chuckle maniacally.

The back side of this argument is that cutting the seat count by 1/3 and raising the ticket price by 1/3 would equal an instant 10.66% loss in revenue. It would also mean that to meet the current demand, more airplanes, parts, support equipment, infrastructure, and manpower would also have to be added. It would, I can only guess, raise ticket prices by double or more?

I like to itch and cough incessantly and say "I'm pretty sure I'm not contagious."

This is a rant thread no one needs logic.

That's my luck too when I fly!
Too bad we can't always have this next to us on a plane:
