A well known American Airlines flight attendant has taken to social media to rant about the carrier’s newest long haul jet. She makes some valid points, and there’s another aspect to her commentary that I find to be interesting…
This is the new long range narrow body plane that’s becoming popular with many airlines. The selling point of the plane is that it can unlock point-to-point routes that wouldn’t work with wide body planes (or so it’s claimed). In the case of American, the plane’s first international route is from New York (JFK) to Edinburgh (EDI).
Essentially, flight attendants on this aircraft get a set of three seats in the last row blocked off for their crew rest, with a “tent” around it, right by the bathroom. As she comments in the video:
