Reply #23: No sympathy for the airline from me. [View All]

Especially since getting stuck in one of those 'average' seats for several hours as we waited on the tarmac for a replacement lightbulb in the cockpit. A year later I was 120 pounds heavier thanks to the heavy doses of steroids following a near-fatal DVT that might well have originated from the lack of movement imposed by that airline seat. I wasn't obese before that event, I sure as hell am still overweight now. Flying has become an unpleasant experience, thanks in no small part to the industry that used to advertise comfort.
