In the last five weeks I have gone through five segments on 777Ls.

I had the distinct impression that one can tell the difference between newer planes and the ones that have been in service for a while. New ones are obviously spotless.

But then I remember of one in which the 6A seat no longer really gets flat, with the head part of the seat staying at about a 10 degrees angle upward. Most awkward is when back in the vertical position, with the thing sloping in the wrong direction, i.e. more to the front higher up.

On the same plane, in both J washrooms, the garbage bin cover springs are already getting bad, with the lid no longer coming back to the fully closed position.

Still about the same plane, in one of the toilets, one wall showed brownish spots, might have been coffee or watered down blood? Real disgusting...

Then, one of my favorite pig rants, why are some folks (in J, presumably also in Y?) so clueless and unconsiderate as to force garbage into the seat cover supply?

Last rant: how often do they change movies? I don't think there is one left in the current selection that I still care to see. Is anyone at AC thinking about those of us who find themselves on a plane often enough to have gone to the (slowly changing) selection?
