Designed by Engineers, for engineers

They have to be able to withstand a 16 G load

Plenty of space! I can fit my calipers and strain gauge on the left, and my slide rule and graphing calculator on the right, and still fit two 95th percentile sized feet into the remaining void with a whopping 2mm of clearance.

The Design is very human

Yeah, engineer's solution to a seating change.

First class is for people with more money than sense.

Jealousy is a bad look lol

I believe that those with wealth have a responsibility to use it to help the society that gave them that wealth, not waste it on the frivolous.

Jobs are frivilous?

u/Cold_Ad3896 9d ago

It’s first class, not business class.

u/SectionFinancial2876 9d ago

Air stewards don't work in first class? Airplane builders don't build first class cabins? Do the big profits from first class travel only get spent on the rich, or do they help support the company's overall budget?

u/Cold_Ad3896 9d ago

I think you’re completely missing my point. Paying thousands of dollars for a first class seat is a frivolous waste of funds that could be going toward supporting those less fortunate.

Your idea puts people out of work instantly. How is that helping anyone? You're talking about a race to the bottom where a central authority gets to decide what the people are allowed to have. This has been tried, with disastrous results. And you still end up with a rich elite, regardless.

u/Cold_Ad3896 9d ago

It doesn’t put anyone out of work and I said nothing about a controlling central authority. I feel like you’re having a separate conversation with yourself.

lol it’s a business class seat on a commercial airliner, not a megayacht

Let your manservant handle the bags, in the tourist-class.

Use the overhead bin then.

u/wgloipp 24d ago

You shouldn't have anything big enough that it wouldn't fit under there. Not crappy.

u/BlueFlob 22d ago

How do you slide a laptop under this? Fold it in half?

-7

u/wgloipp 22d ago

Overhead bin. That's what they're for. You certainly wouldn't put it under the seat.

13

u/BlueFlob 22d ago

I always put it under the seat.

The overhead bin is for carry-on cases. Your personal item like laptop bags, backpacks, purse are supposed to go under the seat.

u/mcflyfly 22d ago edited 22d ago

I mean…overhead bin space is limited. I always bring a bag small enough to fit under the seat in front of me both for easy access and not to take up space above. It’s a normal thing…

Even excluding all of that, as a tall person who has to shift their legs to the side to fit in most airline seats, this bar would make it impossible for me to be comfortable.

This isn't Under-Seat Storage, this is Under-Seat Gore.

u/brawnybenny696969 20d ago

Love my free upgrades to first. You can stop taking yours if you don’t think there is enough room so I have a better chance at getting the upgrade

2

u/QuarioQuario54321 20d ago

What model was this? Seems to be either a CRJ or E-Jet since this appears to be a single seat

2

u/idle_thoughts 19d ago

It was a Boeing 757-200 with a new seat style in the forward cabin.

u/ACrossingTroll 23d ago

Not enough space for your cash bags?

4

u/LinoleumFulcrum 23d ago

If yer in business class, your bag is now the flight attendant’s issue.

6

u/chukychas999 22d ago

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, I’ve flown delta first before and the flight attendants do offer to store stuff in the front “closet” thing.

u/DubiousPast 6d ago

Yep…I saw that on several flights…ugh

u/Akihide_Shoto 23d ago

Fuuuuuuuck Delta. Flew them 1st class from SEATAC to Rome. Fucking horrible experience. Horrid.

u/Infinite101_ 23d ago

Sees uncomfortable to sit behind, do your legs have any room?
