End of an era. Or two.



One Day, That Economy Ticket May Buy You a Place to Stand - New York Times: "'We make the seats thinner,' said Alexander Pozzi, the director for research and development at Weber Aircraft, a seat manufacturer in Gainesville, Tex. 'The airlines keep pitching them closer and closer together. We just try to make them as comfortable as we can'."


Time was, Bunky, an airline trip was an adventure in luxury. Or airsickness, take your pick. But now it's becoming more or less a bring-your-own-peanuts affair back in the straphanger's section.
