Emuva ngoFebruwari 4, 2000, i-American Airlines yazisa ukuba yayiza kuqala ukususa imigangatho emibini yezihlalo zabaqeqeshi ukusuka kwiinqanawa zayo ekuhambeni ukunika abagibeli ithuba eliphezulu kwiindiza zayo. Ukuzalisekisa i-$ 70 yezigidi "Imveliso Yamagumbi", i-Fort Worth, umphathiswa waseTexas ususe izihlalo ezingaphezu kwe-7,000 kwiinqanawa zawo, ukunika abagibeli ithuba lokuziphakela.
Hamba ukuya kwiminyaka eyi-17 kamva, xa i-American Airlines ikhethiwe ngokukhawuleza ukusika umgca wokuhlala kwisihlalo sayo se-Boeing 737MAX ukusuka kuma-intshi angama-31 ukuya kuma-29 no-intshi.
Ukuba uye wahamba kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, usenokucinga ukuba izihlalo zincinci kwaye akukho ncinane-kwaye uya kuchaneka. Njengoko iifayili ziye zasebenzela ukucima inzuzo engaphezulu njengoko iiflefa zihlala zihleli, enye indlela yokwenza oko kufaka izihlalo ezininzi kwiinqanawa zabo.
Kwaye ukuze udibanise kulezo zihlalo, abahlaziyi nje kuphela ububanzi, kodwa banomgama-umgama phakathi kweendawo zokuhlala-kunye negumbi. Kuye kwabi kakhulu kangangokuba iQela leFlyersRights.org lixhomekeke kuLawulo lwe-Aviation Federal ukuphonononga ubungakanani bomhlaba kunye negumbi kwiinqwelo-moya zezorhwebo emva kokuba i-arhente ayenqatshelwe.
Iqela lejaji lamathathu leNkundla yeeNkundla zeeNkundla zeziBheno zagweba malunga ne-FAA kwaye yalela ukuba kuhlaziywe ubungakanani besitulo kunye negumbi kwiinqwelo-moya kwiimeko zeFlyers Rights ne-FAA . Amalungelo amaFlyers agxotha ukuhlaziywa kwe-FAA, ebiza ukuba ukwehla kwezihlalo zeenqwelo zomoya yingozi yokhuseleko engabangela izimo ezinjenge-thrombosis enzulu, enokubangela ukuba igazi libulawe emilenzeni yabagibeli.
AmaFlyers amalungelo anikezela ubungqina obonisa ukuba ububanzi bendawo yokuhlala buye behla, beqhutywa yienqwelo zeenqwelo zeenqwelo zeenqwelo zeenqwelo zeenqwelo-moya ezongezelelweyo imigangatho yokuhlala kwiminyaka eyi-10 edluleyo "Ngokuqinisekileyo abaninzi banokuqaphela, izihlalo zendiza kunye nokusahlukana phakathi kwazo ziye zincinci kwaye zincinci, ngoxa abagibeli baseMelika bekhulile ngobunzima," kubhala uMgwebi uPatricia Millet kwisigqibo.
Umyinge we-pitch "uye wehla ukusuka kumyinge wama-intshi angama-intshi ukuya kuma-intshi angama-31, kwaye kwezinye iindiza ziye zawela ngaphantsi kwama-intshi angama-28."
Ngoko ke iiphi iipropati zehlabathi ezizezona zindawo eziphezulu kakhulu zokuhlala kunye nokuhlala ububanzi? Uluhlu luphuhlile phakathi kweklasi ye-10 ehamba phambili kunye nexesha elide lokukhupha uqoqosho, ngezantsi. Amanani anesidima se SeatGuru.com.
