Thanks, but this one comes with full benefits.

This won't be seating. It'll be complete interior/exterior mods. It bears mentioning that seat manufacturers do not decide how a seat is designed. Seat sizes and options are up to the customer. Word of advice: Try not to fly any of the Asian Airlines (e.g. ANA or JAL) unless you're super skinny or plan on flying in First Class. We would never try to sit in any of the seats because all of us fat ass Americans would actually get stuck. There were aircraft that actually had a seat pitch (distance from the front of one seat to the front of the next) of 39 inches.

I'm assuming that Mike is not in his 60's yet?
I'm 60. And I know many guys who have retired on a Friday and come back to their exact same position on Monday. The difference is that they brought a shovel in with them to pick up all the money they company now paid them as a contractor. Why do you think I contracted for 25 years?
