Why do bulkhead seats have the worst pockets?
I *hate* bulkhead seats. You get less leg room, can't stash your bag, often have no direct bin space...
But the thing that boggles my mind the most is the stupid magazine slot you get instead of a pocket. I could live with the lack of storage if I had a decent pouch in front of me for my book and bottle of water, but we don't even get that.
What's the rationale for that itty bitty slot?
