They should've made that row a crapper as well. I think that is the "Internet Special" row of seats.

I thought reading the actual letter was much funnier. It had these really crude drawings. Anyone have a link to it?

 

[Amish RakeFight]

I think I found it.

Is not the CRJ and ERJ just as bad, right next to the lav.

[Dewey Oxberger]

Perhaps it was an MD-80? They've only been gone for a few years.

Whoah.... this is weird. The link doesn't work any longer... they must of gotten a lot of hits and took it offline. All you get is a big green face with a tongue sticking out.


If you want to see it, I relinked it. It doesn't allow any redirects from FI. You'll have to go to thier site.

A PDF document (available for viewing here) purportedly records the feelings of a passenger who had an experience similar (but worse by several degrees) to mine and undertook the effort to jot down his thoughts while the flight was in progress and send them off to the airline. The seven-page note (complete with humorous illustrations) documents the travails of a passenger who finds himself sitting not just in the last row before the lavatories, but directly across from a lavatory itself — forcibly exposing to him all sorts of unpleasant sights, sounds, odors, and other discomforts.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Bookman Old Style,Arial]Dear Continental Airlines,

I am disgusted as I write this note to you about the miserable experience I am having sitting in seat 29E on one of your aircrafts. As you may know, this seat is situated directly across from the lavatory, so close that I can reach out my left am and touch the door.

All my senses are being tortured simultaneously. It's difficult to say what the worst part about sitting in 29E really is? Is it the stench of the sanitation fluid that's blown all over my body every 60 seconds when the door opens? Is it the wooosh of the constant flushing? Or is it the passengers asses that seem to fit into my personal space like a pornographic jig-saw puzzel?

I constructed a stink-shield by shoving one end of a blanket into the overhead compartment — while effective in blocking at least some of the smell, and offering a small bit of privacy, the ass-on-my-body factor has increased, as without my evil glare, passengers feel free to lean up against what they think is some kind of blanketed wall. The next ass that touches my shoulder will be the last!

I am picturing a board room full of executives giving props to the young promising engineer that figured out how to squeeze an additional row of seats onto this plane by putting them next to the LAV. I would like to flush his head in the toilet that I am close enough to touch, and taste, from my seat.

Putting a seat here was a very bad idea. I just heard a man groan in there! This sucks!

Worse yet, is I've paid over $400.00 for the honor of sitting in this seat!

Does your company give refunds? I'd like to go back where I came from and start over. Seat 29E could only be worse if it was located inside the bathroom.

I wonder if my clothing will retain the sanitizing odor . . . what about my hair! I feel like I'm bathing in a toilet bowl of blue liquid, and there is no man in a little boat to save me.

I am filled with a deep hatred for your plane designer and a general dis-ease that may last for hours.

We are finally decending, and soon I will be able to tear down the stink-shield, but the scars will remain.

I suggest that you initiate immediate removal of this seat from all of your crafts. Just remove it, and leave the smouldering brown hole empty, a good place for sturdy/non-absorbing luggage maybe, but not human cargo.

I know it's crazy to ask, but could this've happen on any other airline?

 

[Captain X]

It was CAL -- and pretty damn funny.

[Amish RakeFight]

This was probably written by some trust fund :uzi: hipster. Glad he got splashed with atomized toilet saintizer. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

 

[EMBpilot]

Captain X,
Thanks, I saw it was, but could this same situation occur on a flight of any other airline? If the flight is full?
If the answer is yes, than I'll still believe that CAL is the best in customer satisfaction


P.S. I only watched first 1:20 min - after certain offensive words I turned it off.

If offensive words bother you, you are in the wrong line of work and on the wrong website, my friend.
