(38,311 posts)No fancy conveyor belt for seats going out of the plane, they'd just heave them out the door. He brought a few seats home and we made living room furniture out of them. Yep, bachelor pad, video games, VCR, and fully reclining coach airline seats.
One of the reason's I hate flying is that for the seats I can afford, my knees hit the back of the seat in front of me. I either have to raise my feet off the floor, or sit with my knees so far apart as to annoy the people sitting next to me.
Flying is nothing like it was when I was a kid and grandma was buying the tickets.

(12,132 posts)the best we roomies ever did was talk our friend into letting us borrow the back seat from his Bronco. It was a wide bench seat and had ash trays in each armrest so it was very convenient. Sat at just the right height to watch the B/W TV on the milk crates.
Only downside was it tipped over pretty easy. We ended up on our backs with ashes in the air more than once. We were too high to stop and figure out a way to stabilize it.
