These current ones on transcon flights are terrible on my back


Airbus? 737s? new 772/763 interiors? The issues are def. for each.
I personally like the leather over cloth, but the seats themselves are not good, particularly the Recardo Airbus seats. See consensus view:
Update on our Airbus Reconfigurations (Seats, Entertainment, Channel 9, etc.)
I will simply not book the United Airbus on a flight over about an hour, If that is the A/C, United is off my purchasing radar.
