Hi friends,
I just wanted to add my hello to the thread. If you click my handle, you'll see that 25 years ago I started SeatGuru right here on Flyertalk. When TripAdvisor shut it down back in November, I took a look around and realized that what these folks had built at AeroLOPA was really special, and the to-scale LOPAs (gotta get used to that term!) are a game changer. I was lucky to get to join the team and spend the last few months in the wonderland that was almost 1500 planes and boatloads of airline and seating data. There's tons of cool tech under-the-hood now, from computer vision to trained models. We've got a platform now that can seriously scale to doing really cool things, and we appreciate your support (and, at times, patience) as we forge new frontiers in airline seating. Best, -Matt
