With thousands of seats in the air on multiple airlines, one would think that the manufacturer would have solved this issue and had the seats re-certified by now...
One would think so, but it only seems to be on AC. Personally, I have flown on these seat 300 plus times on AC and never had a deflated seat. But yet some people claim they get deflating seat reg.bases. So....
