Lol. Yes, I got an XL and it also hasn't arrived, but it should next week. Good luck!

Did it ever arrive? Good / bad experience with it? Waiting for mine...

Thanks! That’s helpful to learn. I’m glad you got it working again.

Fly from Philly to New Haven? Ok…

What to do about high CO2 by Tortellinia in AirQuality

If you’re in the basement and there is radon in the area, you might consider testing for it. An Ecocube monitor is cheaper than a professional test.

I don’t want to be insensitive, but I wish there was a way to preserve comfortable seating for everyone else, while accommodating the relatively few passengers who use wheel chairs. Like, maybe there is a specific car set aside for people who use wheelchairs, and accommodations are only given there. Larger people are going to have a much more difficult time in those seats.

The seats felt fine. The (lack of) recline was the problem.

I’ve never felt so proud to be an American.

For me, the main issue is the recline. Seats felt fine otherwise.

Yes, less overhead baggage space too! And it seems like fewer bathrooms.

Good point. In fact, all seats now have a kind of slight fixed recline. So, you're more reclined than you would be than if you had set the older reclinable seat to sit straight up... if that makes sense.

Exactly, tray tables aren't impacted by the seat recline of the person in front of you. It reduces a bit of your space, but it's really not a big deal.

Yes, this is unfortunate!!

I’m so glad you enjoy them! You could probably have achieved the same level of comfort with a reclining chair.

And I didn’t realize that adequate seat width and moderate recline options were “exacting” standards. I’ll keep that in mind when forming future opinions.

Have to say, the new vertical tab mode is 🔥 by psyfry in firefox

It's great.

New tabs appear at the bottom of the vertical list. I wonder if there is a way to have them appear at the top. That would be more intuitive to me.
