You know what, I’ll flat-out say it — unless it is the only way to get to my destination (and I’m talking even if that means flying at an inconvenient time or a more expensive flight), I will not set foot on an American Airlines micro-bathroom-equipped airplane. Period.
(At least until all the other airlines hop on the same bandwagon, because, a dozen extra seats per flight? To the extent that they are flying money-making equipment, not transportation for human beings, sure, every airline exec is going to be foaming at the mouth for that. At least back in steerage class.)
I mean, what next? A slop bucket would take up too much leg room. Catheterization? Bring-your-own Depends?
American Airlines’ Tiny New Bathrooms Test Limits Of What U.S. Passengers Will Put Up With
Flight attendants and passengers are complaining that at just 24 inches wide, the tiny restrooms installed on AA’s new Boeing 737-MAX airplanes are too small and problematic for use by most adults. Here’s why the airline likely won’t change a thing.
It's like the airlines expect people to put up with anything because how else are you going to get there?
+laurie corzett And, honestly, most people will bitch about it, but won't actually not fly. Flying is such a remarkable convenience, and the alternatives in many cases are difficult, inconvenient, or pricey.
Everything the airlines have done has demonstrated that expectation to be true.
People have been complaining about legroom and space for years.
Travel can be very difficult for some people. I have some kind of painful muscle condition that is not visible from the outside, and it took me weeks to recover from a recent trip to Seattle. The most comfortable plane in the journey was a little Brazilian-made hopper from Dallas to Bloomington. It had the most legroom. Didn’t check out the restrooms though.
