What a good idea, to me at least, it means the person in front of me will not be able to put thier seat back in my face! And no more broken laptop display panels when the thoughtless passenger in front decides to fully recline his seat as far as it will go without any consideration for what the guy behind him has on his tray.

lack of seat pockets and distribution of menus.
Perhaps menus should have a velcro back to allow them to be affixed to the seatback instead of dropped on floor. |

Non-reclining seats should be obligatory on all short trips and on long ones the seats should only be able to recline AFTER meals are served. Nik NO - minimum seat measurements should be sufficient to allow 99.5% of adults to sit comfortably when the seat in front is fully reclined. That would be nice, but ask those 99.5% of passengers if they'd be prepared to pay x% more for their fare if they got an x% increase in seat pitch, and I think they would probably prefer to stick with the lower fare.

You could have that if people were prepared to pay the higher fares which would result from the reduction in seating capacity. I think the airlines know that far more people would go for low fares than would go for comfort. Welcome to IDURA. -- PB The return address has been MUNGED |

The airline in question operates just 3 jet aircraft, 2 wide bodies and a narrow body, all of European manufacture. It's route network consists of nonstop flights to 9 destinations, with one additional link using turboprops from one of those on to a 10th. All of this airline's flights are as good as entirely over water. 3 well known international airlines, one Oneworld, One Star Alliance, One Skyteam member all codeshare on some of this airline's flights. Anyone able to name that airline? --==++AJC++==-- |

Lauda Air ? Absolutely not. Most of their aircraft are not of European manufacture, and a decent proportion of Lauda flights (now part of Austrian) are over land. --==++AJC++==-- |

I think that the non-reclining seats are a great idea. I am sick and
tired of idiots who think they are the only ones on the plane and throw back their seat so that it jams my knees. The no backseat pocket is a bad idea. On Tue, 7 Dec 2004 10:44:34 -0000, "Miss L.

Especially when trying to have a nap. Also they handed out those plastic coated 'menus', and, with no seat back pocket people put them on the floor and then put their shoes on them, which no doubt had previously trodden in dog-poo at some time. I wonder if they get disinfected after every leg ? The safety announcement even said to read the safety leaflet in the seat back pocket in front of you ! Well that was enough for me - that was my last voluntary Ryanair flight. Bye Bye MOL. |
