Muaj ntau qhov kev pab cuam txog kev poob qis hauv dav hlau cov neeg siv khoom.
Tsis ntau yog qhov zoo.
Muaj teeb meem ntawm cov teeb meem nyiaj rov qab, lub davhlau qeeb, kev tshem tawm, tos ntev rau kev pab hauv xov tooj, thiab ntau tus neeg siv khoom npau taws. Hauv qee txoj kev, cov dav hlau muag khoom tsis muaj kev txhawb nqa khoom txaus. Ntau tus kws lij choj hauv xeev tau thov kom Department of Transportation ua.
Ib qho ntawm cov kev thuam niaj hnub ua yog tias cov dav hlau tau txo qhov dav ntawm cov rooj zaum, tso cai rau lawv ua rau cov neeg caij tsheb ntau dua rau hauv lub dav hlau cabins.
Ib lub network loj tau tshaj tawm tias nyob rau tsib xyoos dhau los, qhov nruab nrab ntawm lub rooj zaum dav tau poob qis los ntawm ntau dua 18 ntiv tes rau 16.5. Wow, nruj. Lwm cov xov xwm hauv xov xwm qhia tau hais tias nws nqis mus rau 16 ntiv tes. Yikes, txawm tighter. Ib tus neeg tawm tswv yim txhawb nqa qhov no, tshaj tawm tias Asmeskas cov dav hlau tau txo qhov dav ntawm ob ntiv tes txij li xyoo 1980s.
Cov tswvcuab hauv Congress tau dhia hauv, ib yam nkaus. Cov qauv no yuav tsum nres, lawv taw qhia.
Oops. Tej zaum koj yuav xav tshawb xyuas koj cov ntaub ntawv ntxiv, Senator (AP Duab / Julie Walker)
Associated Xovxwm
Suab tu siab heev.
Qhov teeb meem nkaus xwb yog tias cov ntaub ntawv no tsis yog lawm. Qhov tseeb, qhov ntxeev lus yog qhov tseeb. Niaj hnub no, ntawm cov neeg siv dav hlau loj hauv Asmeskas tau zaum hauv kev lag luam-cabin lub rooj nrog qhov dav dav dav dua nees nkaum xyoo dhau los - thiab raws li cov dav hlau tshiab tuaj rau hauv cov nkoj, uas yuav nce mus, tsis poob.
Airlines muaj ntau yam teeb meem los teb rau. Tab sis kev txo qis ntawm tus kheej lub rooj zaum tsis yog ib qho ntawm lawv, thiab yog li cov lus thov no tsuas yog ua rau cov lus nug huab cua raug cai uas yuav tsum tau ua.
Kev thov ua tiav ntawm qhov tsis sib xws nrog kev muaj tiag. Nov yog ob qhov tseeb los nag los nag los ntawm kev kho ntawm qhov kev ua yeeb yam hais saum toj no. Tsis muaj lub dav hlau hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas tau txiav qhov dav dav hauv ntu kev lag luam los ntawm 2 ntiv tes hauv tsib xyoos dhau los, lossis tseem ntxov dua li ntawd. Nyob ntawd yeej tsis yog nyob rau hauv 30 xyoo dhau los ib nruab nrab kev lag luam rooj dav dav li 18 ntiv tes, lossis nqaim li 16.5.
Cov lus thov no tsis raug kiag li.
Tus Kheej muaj tseeb. Qhov nruab nrab lub rooj dav tau nce. Qhov tseeb yog qhov ntawd qhov nruab nrab lub rooj loj tau nce ntawm US airlines hauv peb caug xyoo dhau los.
Cia peb tham txog qhov pom tseeb heresy. Ib qho yooj yim saib ntawm kev hloov pauv hauv cov dav hlau dav hlau ya dav hlau tawm mus rau qhov kev thov lub rooj nqaim.
Lub rooj dav dav ntawm ib txoj kev dav dav dav dav xws li Boeing 737 hauv 6-thoob kev lag luam cabins tsis tau poob qis, raws li feem ntau hais. Tsis muaj tus neeg nqa khoom hauv Asmeskas tau ua rau lawv poob qis.
Qhov tseeb, qhov ntev ntawm lub 737Max tshiab yog qhov tseem ceeb zoo ib yam rau thawj 707s uas tau txais kev pabcuam hauv xyoo 1958. Nyob rau hauv lub raj ntawd, cov rooj zaum kev lag luam rau peb lub xyoo dhau los tau yog @ 17.1 txog 17.5 ntiv tes. Kev tsim kho ntawm lub rooj zaum tau txhim kho ntau xyoo, nrog kev tsim kho tshiab thiab tsim qauv. Tab sis lawv tsis tau - rov ua dua, tsis yog - tau shrunk ob peb ntiv tes nqaim, zoo li yog hmoov tsis zoo los ntawm ntau qhov chaw xov xwm.
Dav Cov rooj zaum tau nkag mus rau peb lub xyoos dhau los. Tom qab ntawd, dua li ntawm 30 xyoo dhau los, lwm lub dav hlau dav hlau tau los siv hauv Asmeskas cov nkoj - tag nrho nrog cov rooj zaum dav hauv kev lag luam hauv tsev. Nyeem dua: dav dua rooj zaum.
Wb coj Airbus A320 platform airliners. Txij li thaum pib thaum xyoo 1980s, cov neeg caij dav hlau ib leeg tau tso ntau txhiab lub rooj rau saum ntuj ntawm qhov dav ntawm 18 ntiv xwb. Tom qab ntawd nyob rau hauv 20 xyoo dhau los tuaj txog ntawm me me Embraer E175s thiab E190s, nyob rau hauv fleets ntawm American, Delta, United thiab Alaska. Cov rooj zaum kev lag luam ntawm cov no yog me ntsis dav dua li Airbus airliner rooj.
Thiab tsis ntev los no, peb muaj qhov nkag ntawm 100-rau-120 lub rooj Airbus A220, nrog cov rooj zaum ze 19 ntiv tes. Cov no tam sim no ua haujlwm ntawm Delta thiab JetBlue.
Yog li, daim ntawv qhab nia yog qhov tseeb. Cov neeg ua haujlwm ntawm Boeing ib leeg-aisle airliners (xws li 737s thiab 757s) tsis tau txiav qhov dav dav. Ntxiv rau, ntau pua lub dav hlau tau nkag mus rau kev pabcuam nrog cov rooj zaum dav hauv kev lag luam. Tsis muaj tsawg dua.
Raws li rau lub cev dav, cov dav hlau ntxaib, xws li 787s thiab 767s thiab A330s, tau muaj kev hloov pauv hauv kev lag luam hauv tsev, tab sis tsis muaj US teem caij dav hlau cov neeg caij tsheb muaj kev lag luam zaum qis dua 17.0 txog 17.5 ntiv tes.
Ntawm qee qhov kev so haujlwm CRJ thiab ERJ "cov dav hlau hauv cheeb tsam," cov rooj zaum nyob ntawm kwv yees li 17 ntiv tes. Lub ntsiab lus yog tias qhov kev thov ntawm nruab nrab lub rooj dav ntawm 16.5 ntiv tes tsuas yog tsis muaj tseeb.
Yog li, yog tias cov rooj zaum kev lag luam uas twb muaj lawm tsis tau nqaim (thiab lawv tsis muaj) thiab ntau txhiab tus neeg caij dav hlau tshiab tau los nrog cov rooj zaum dav dua, cov lus sib liam tias cov neeg siv khoom tau ntsib lub rooj zaum dav. prima ntsej tsis muaj tseeb. Nws muaj peev xwm qee cov lus ceeb toom suav nrog thawj chav zaum hauv chav sib xyaw. tab sis qhov ntawd yuav tsis suav rau qhov kev tsis ncaj ncees tag nrho hais tias cov tuam txhab lag luam tam sim no tau txo qis hauv chav kawm kev lag luam mus rau 16.5-nti dav thoob plaws dav hlau hauv Asmeskas.
Qhov twg cov lus thov tuaj ntawm no tsis paub meej. Qhov tseeb yog tias lawv tsis raug.
Ua kom cov rooj zaum me me yuav tsis xa ntau lub peev xwm. Xijpeem, ntau ntawm cov ntawv xov xwm no txhais tau hais tias nrog lub rooj zaum dav dav, cov dav hlau tuaj yeem muaj peev xwm ntau dua. Qhov ntawd yog lub cev ua tsis tau rau ib leeg-aisle airliners.
Qhov tseeb yog tias 6-hla yog qhov siab tshaj plaws ntawm 737s thiab A320 variants. Ntawm E175s thiab A220s, 5-hla yog qhov siab tshaj plaws uas yuav haum. Txiav ob peb ntiv tes tawm ntawm qhov dav ntawm txhua lub rooj zaum yuav tsis ua bukus kom tso cai ntau dua. Qhov no yog vim li cas airlines tsis tau txo qhov dav - nws yuav ntxiv xoom ntxiv peev xwm.
Neeg nrog caij Legroom - Ib Zaj Dab Neeg txawv. Txawm hais tias lub rooj zaum loj npaum li cas, qhov no tsis yog qhov yuav tsum tau hais tias kev mus ncig hauv huab cua tau dhau los ua ib qho kev nplij siab. Kom meej meej, muaj is yeej muaj teeb meem nrog legroom.
"Lub rooj zaum" yog qhov kev ncua deb ntawm kab, thiab nws txawv ntawm lub dav hlau mus rau lub dav hlau. Qhov kev sib cav tuaj yeem ua tau tias ntawm lossis qis dua 30-inch nrug ntawm cov kab hauv kab, kev lag luam hauv tsev yog qhov sib npaug ntawm Roman qhev galley nrog dej haus. Tab sis tsis yog nrog cov rooj zaum nqaim. Tsuas yog ntau kab.
Muaj cov ntaub ntawv qhia tias tib neeg xyoo dhau los tau hloov lub cev. Tab sis tsis hais txog qhov loj ntawm tib neeg, uas supposedly tau nce, qhov tseeb tseem yog qhov nruab nrab dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav dav.
Puas muaj kev nyab xeeb ntawm qhov teeb meem? Qhov teeb meem ntawm no yog tias cov kev teeb tsa lub rooj zaum nruj no ua tau raws li qhov yuav tsum tau muaj tam sim no ntawm FAA. Muaj cov lus nug raug cai ntawm seb cov qauv no puas yuav tsum tau kho dua. Tab sis cov neeg thov lub koom haum los tsim kom muaj qhov tsawg kawg nkaus qhov yuav tsum tau ua ntej kom tau qhov tseeb ncaj qha thiab tsis yog raws li kev xav ntawm cov neeg sau xov xwm lossis cov neeg siv khoom gadflies uas tsis paub lawv tab tom tham txog dab tsi.
Kev nplij siab yog qhov teeb meem. Tab sis cov lus nug tseem ceeb yog seb cov cab no puas muaj kev nyab xeeb. Txhawm rau txiav txim siab qhov no xav tau qhov tseeb, tsis yog cov kev xav niaj hnub. Kev siv cov canard tsis raug uas qhov nruab nrab lub rooj dav dav tau tas li nqaim tsis ntxiv qhov teeb meem.
Yog, cov ntaub ntawv no tawm mus rau ntau qhov kev xav ambient. Tab sis peb muaj qhov tseeb, kab kos thiab cov ntaub ntawv rov qab nws. Nyem qhov no rau peb Aviation Unscripted video.
