>According to a press release from the airline, economy seats on the retrofitted planes will have "back support with a fixed recline design," which in simpler terms means the seat will not have the ability to recline.
>The Premium section at the front of these planes will have "ergonomically contoured seat cushions, reclining seat backs and a large headrest with four-way adjustment capability."
So.. poor people don't deserve ergonomic seats?

- lazide 1y agoBe thankful they aren’t proposing a single board hah! You know what I would pay for? Bunk beds.

- renewiltord 1y agoI doubt there is a notion in the world of what seats anyone deserves. Poor people maybe should be helped live but ergonomic seats etc. are not life threatening and so if anyone poor or rich wants to avoid paying for them then they should have the option. In fact, I would go so far as to say there are no people in the world who earn an airplane ticket through deserving it. It's an entirely pay to play luxury.
- wongarsu 1y agoI assume the version without recline feature and back support is lighter and takes up less space. If they can shave off an inch from the backrest they can fit in another row, and if they can shave off a pound by removing all adjustability that's 180 pound less per plane, saving fuel. Also makes people more likely to upgrade. Basically all the same reasons why economy doesn't get business class seats
