Flying economy on the Dreamliner
There are a lot of ways of judging a commercial airline. We can look at how many of the same model are currently flying, what model is in demand, as well as testimonies of those who have flown using these airlines. Another way of looking at a commercial airline is through the eyes of an economy passenger. Captain Alexis Fecteau believes that economy passengers take up most of the room during these flights, and how well they are treated shows the commitment of airline manufacturers in building comfortable spaces while moving them from one destination to another.
Among many aircrafts, there have been a lot of buzz when it comes to the economy experience of a Boeing Dreamliner. Passengers from different airlines who’ve flown on a Dreamliner can attest to a better flying experience compared to others. The Dreamliner’s design allows airlines to be creative when it comes to business and first class. But economy still has a lot of features to mention.
Before the plane takes off, economy passengers can notice two things. First, there’s more space in the overhead compartment. And secondly, the windows are bigger compared to other airline models. In fact, the Dreamliner has the biggest windows in the industry, with a dimension of 27cm by 47cm, 30% bigger than the rest.
After ascending thousands of feet in the air, economy passengers are then treated to something new— fresh air. While most airplanes get their supply of cabin air from the engine, the Dreamliner gets it from outside the cabin rather than from the engine. According to Captain Alexis Fecteau, the fresh air greatly reduces stress levels. This gives passengers a more comfortable ride, even during long-haul flights.
Prior to working for Boeing Commercial Airplanes,Captain Alexis Fecteau gained various awards and accolades for his work in aviation, including being named Chief of Training and Chief of Maintenance Test Flying in the USAF, National Security Space Institute Reserve Officer of the Year in 2004, and Project Lead for standup of the National Security Space Institute and Reserve Associate Unit.
