15 and a half

That's the length in inches of my thigh bone to the back of the seat
on the MU (China Eastern) flight from Beijing to Shanghai. My knees
barely touched the seat back. Good thing my 100K + cycling;
otherwise, my ass would be too wide to fit into the seat. The width
was the same as an AC flight between Regina and Vancouver on a little
Regional Jet.

At every of this type of domestic flight, it reminds me of why taking
biz class no matter how short a distance is worth it. Not just cramp
but rudeness with people's behaviours. The guy sitting next to me
kept crouching over with his elbow. And when he chewed his food, very
unpleasant sound propagated to my left ear. Then this idiot across
from the aisle had this laptop speakers on full volume. He had a pair
of headset on; but I believed he plugged it into the wrong hole! The
sound was coming out from the laptop speakers and not from his
headset. Then he fell asleep. The guy sat in front of me just
reclined without checking; the seat jammed my much swollen Arthritic
finger. There was my excuse not playing golf well this Summer ;-)
With the cramp quarter, his seat at the full recline position was in
my nose. I couldn't read my LINUX magazine that close!

O yeah, odor of all sorts! I know there is a water shortage in c0mMie
land, about 50% of the water is polluted. But bad breath .... OMG!
It came from two rows of seats over!!!! Then moldy clothes with a
mixed of moth ball smell. The clothes became stuffy. I believe the
pollution here is partially contributed by bad breath and the "stinky"
smell of the clothes.

And all these idiots, go to the bathroom before getting onto the plan
buddies! With your army controlling airspace on anything above 25,000
ft and a 10 minutes between flights, better empty your "tanks" before
boarding. There were two passengers attempting to use the washrooms
when we were number 1 for take off position! The flight attendants
were jumping up and down, pounding on the door. Actually, i would
just calmly lock the door and let them sit in there until we were of
level flight path. Yes, welcome to C0mM!e land. When you travel on
economy class, you see a pile of this "funny" scenes.
