Some members have been asking for these - we'll see what the new curtain installations actually do (and how many
won't like 'em.)
Kind of ironic, given a mesh curtain was tested in the MD-80s in 2005 (
thread link.)
Not really ironic about where it was tested and where we probably won't see them. Installing a curtain on a 757 won't irritate as many passengers as it would on an MD80. 757 passengers have the option of the lav in front of 2L while the MD80 passengers have to walk through first or go all the way to the back. AA doesn't really try to make the super 80 seem like a class ride while they do on the 757 in many of our markets. (sorry to burst the bubble of our frequent MD80 pax
)
757 makes the most sense. IMO.
