American Airlines Put A Table On A Window Seat To Get Around Pilot Contract Rules
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
American Airlines has a regional jet with a table placed on a window seat, making it unusable on purpose. The reason is not comfort or safety, but pilot contract scope rules: blocking one seat keeps the Embraer 170 at 65 seats instead of 66, avoiding limits that apply to larger outsourced regional jets.
