Awesome plane.

Flew on one to Hawaii once.  

American Airline's 747 had a piano lounge upstairs!

Awesome!  On my bucket list, if time travel is ever invented/discovered.  Maybe them UFOs are from another time and will soon share their tech with us.  Bet black people wisely won't time travel anytime before 1980.

It's possible, but she doesn't sound like one.

I would love cupping and manhandling them funbags.

In 1978 the US federal Gov passed the airline regulation act.
Prior to that the airlines could charge what the customers would pay.
With some exceptions, most air fares were HIGHER but everyone got better service.

Think of it like this:
If everyone on the plane paid 40- 50% more of what a coach fare is now, it would be better.
More room and better service means LESS people per flight which increases.

1st class is 2 seats per side ( 4 per horizontal row) vs 3 per side for coach ( 6 per row).
Using simple math , a 200 seat plane with a majority of crammed seating could reduce to
around 120 and have the roomy 4 seat rows .

Not sure that would be profitable, but it sure would beat the crammed airbus of coach fare "discount" flights.

 

Before deregulation air fares were double what they are today.  Just fly first class if you want more room and better service.  Deregulation was the best thing that ever happened to air travel.

Why should one dress nice to fly for life?

Now days I am happy if they are just dressed.  I've seen fat chicks get one with an outfit that belonged on a Brazilian beach.  Or wearing white leggings with no underwear that you could literally see pubic hair sticking out the front.

And if you fly China Eastern air, you never know what you will see on that airline.  Twice on different flights I have seen (different) men actually strip down to their boxers in the aisle, walk into the bathroom to shave and bath at the sink, come back and put on different clothes.  Saw one dude piercing his nipple himself.  One lady was giving all three of her kids haircuts, and I don't mean little trims either.  I mean she was hacking that shit off like they were entering the witness protection program fugitive style.

Airplanes bring out the worst in some people.

LOL! And I thought I had it bad having a 250 pound black lady who looked like a character from a Martin Lawrence movie sitting across from the aisle of me on a 6 hour flight. She ate a bag of sunflower seeds and stacked the mound of shells until they were spilling over the cocktail napkin. Finger sucking and other noises were a frequent occurrence. She then fell asleep and snored every 5 seconds and would shake awake every once in a while. Sleep apnea of peas. She turned on some music and began snapping her fingers like she was 5 years old. And during the entire flight, it smelled like somebody was farting every 10 minutes. I’m suspecting it was probably big momma. What is it about airplanes or airports that attracts the gutters of society?

Ironic that you mentioned flying 1st class as that's what my wife and I recently started doing.
We only fly 2-3 times per year, but it's worth the extra $$ for a more pleasant travel experience. 100% serious.

Plus, we got the TSA pre-approved number, that lets us skip the biggest security lines.

It's worth it.

Plus you don't have to take off your shoes, or your belt.  You don't have to go through the X-ray machine, just the metal detector.  You don't have to take your laptop out of it's case, or your toiletries out of your carry on bag.  Good move!

Any airline with a flight originating out of China or Japan is awful  Japan is a little better though.  The first time I ever boarded a plane in China, I noticed in the airports all the these water fountains near the gates that also had a tap for hot boiling water.  I was confused why anyone would want hot boiling water prior to boarding the plane.  AFter I got on, I wasn't confused anymore.   You can't carry liquids through screenings but you can carry a thermos of dried herbs and leaves.  Which nearly everyone on the plane did.  Prior to boarding they filled it up with hot water to brew it.  That shit was nasty.  Now combine over 300 people with various leaves, herbs and whatnot brewing up....   I got lucky that a girl a row up gave me one of the little sick masks that are popular over there.  It filtered out a bit, but I also had to wet and scrub a piece of peppermint on the inside.
