Did they get it yet? We need more leg room but the armrests.. They need a spline between armrests so an encroaching elbow cannot invade your space!

Um, There is usually something that can fit your requirements. Oh yeah first class Roll Eyes

But I don't really see what you are talking about in This photo tour. unless you are talking about third class and most other planes have the same problem in third class.

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

"The plane is being certified to the highest FAA standards," said Scott Fancher, vice president and general manager...

He forgot to add............Except for the static sparking in the fuel tanks due to the carbon composite design. So we are trying to get the FAA to set an acceptable limit for said static sparks in said tank............Have a nice flight.............

My last flight was on a Boeing 737 and I was in 1rst class. (business class). You get more leg room but the seats are not wider. You still had the elbow room problem. Viewing those pics of Dreamliner 1rst class look nice but you'll pay big bucks to sit in one. Wink

So if you sit foward of the exploding tanks, you'll get there ahead of schedule. Roll Eyes

Strapped into a very nice seat, I might add.
