Tbf calling it peasant class is more honest. The new planes economy sections must have been designed by the same people who designed cattle cars.

This is why I hate the Boeing max line. It's not because of the safety things, for those I decide are self-correcting and thus I can wait those out.

No, it's the new layouts they enable and offer that has seats cramped even harder, washrooms without full enclosure - no really, a public restroom divider with a 4-inch gap at the bottom between my farts and the galley - and cheap porous plastic everywhere. The whole thing is a McDonald's lobby you can't escape for ours at a time, nor express the slightest frustration at being in.

If it's Boeing, I'm not going.

Temple Grandin has done a significant amount of work on designing animal handling facilities for minimal stress and ease of flow.

We would be so lucky if she turned her skills towards airlines.

Knowing Boeing, there would be a boltgun waiting for you at the exit.
