Emuva ngoFebhuwari 4, 2000, i-American Airlines yamemezela ukuthi izoqala ukususa imigqa emibili yezihlalo zabaqeqeshi ezikhungweni zayo ekuhambeni ukunikeza abagibeli indawo enkulu ezindizeni zayo. Ekusebenziseni umkhiqizo wayo we-$ 70 wezigidi "I-More Room", i-Fort Worth, othintekayo waseTexas ususe izihlalo ezingaphezu kuka-7 000 kusuka emkhunjini, unikezela abagibeli ithuba lokuziphakamisa ngamasentimitha angu-34.
Yeka eminyakeni engu-17 kamuva, lapho ama-American Airlines ehlongozwe ngokugcwele ukusika isikhala esihlalweni sezindiza ze-Boeing 737MAX kusuka kumasentimitha angu-31 kuya ku-29 no-intshi.
Uma uhambe eminyakeni embalwa eyedlule, ungase ucabange ukuthi izihlalo zincane futhi kunomlenze omncane-futhi uzobe ulungile. Njengoba izindiza zezindiza ziye zasebenzela ukukhipha inzuzo eningi njengoba izindiza zihlala zikhona, enye indlela yokwenza lokho ukufaka izihlalo eziningi ezikhungweni zabo.
Futhi ukuze ucindezele kulezo zihlalo, azibuyisi emuva kuphela ububanzi, kodwa futhi ugibe-ibanga phakathi kwezingqimba zezihlalo-negumbi legumbi. Kutholakale kakhulu kangangokuthi iqembu le-FlyersRights.org lenze i-Federal Aviation Administration ukubuyekezwa ubukhulu bomzimba namagumbi ezindizeni zezokuhweba ngemuva kokuba inhlangano yenqabe.
Iphaneli lejaji lamathathu leNkantolo yezokuDluliswa kweDiscuit Circuit yanqume ngokumelene ne-FAA futhi yalalela ukuthi libuyekeze usayizi wesigcawu nesigumbi ezindizeni ze-Flyers Rights vs. FAA . Amalungelo amaFlyers aphikisana nokubuyekezwa kwe-FAA, ethi izimiso ze-airline ezinciphisa ingozi yokuphepha ezingabangela izimo ezinjenge-thrombosis ejulile ye-vein, engabangela ukulimala kwegazi emilenzeni yabagibeli.
AmaFlyers Rights anikeze ubufakazi obonisa ukuthi ukuphakama kwezihlalo eziphakeme kuye kwehla, okuqhutshwa yizindiza ezinezela imigqa eyengeziwe eminyakeni eyishumi edlule. "Akungabazeki ukuthi abaningi baqaphele ukuthi izihlalo zezindiza kanye nokuhlukanisa phakathi kwabo bebebancane futhi bancane, kanti abagibeli baseMelika bebekhulile," kubhala iJaji uPatricia Millet esinqumweni.
Isilinganiso se-pitch "sehlile kusukela ku-amasentimitha angu-35 kuya kwamasentimitha angu-31, futhi kwezinye izindiza ziye zawela ngaphansi kwamasentimitha angu-28."
