I guess so!
A seat set is a group of seats. Often two brackets with fastening points on each bracket hold a threesome of seats on the floor. There is probably some arrangement of tabs that fit into slots so that only a few screws are needed to hold the seats on the floor.
The UA888 flight of the United Airlines (UA) returned to Beijing Capital Airport after hovering about two hours in the sky, due to landing gear problem. No casualties were reported.
When did UA start flying helicopters PEK-SFO? Or did they squeeze 281 people into an Osprey or Harrier?
Says ONE bolt was loose causing the problem of the row sliding.
Shouldn't that be FOUR ?
Do you really think the new and improved fees are the only way UA is dealing with high fuel prices? Removal of excess fasteners from aircraft will probably save them $5 million this year due to the lighter planes.
