15+ hours in the air. In economy. That isn't healthy. I'm wondering if we eventually get to the point that health agencies speak up, that there is too much risk in having people sit in tiny chairs for such periods.
When I was a kid I did lots of 8+ hour flights (YVR-London, London-middle east). Seats were bigger then. Now I see old people sitting in tiny seats and wonder how many will leave the flight with a DVT injury? How many will be in hospital with flu the next day? If sitting is the new smoking, these flights are like sleeping inside a chimney.
