Now that airlines have started adding wheel locks to their drink carts, less than half of flights have one accidentally fall out through the hole.
I would totally be a tail gunner for extra miles. Heck, I might do it for free.
I won’t, but I might.
Now I want someone to make a reality show where they seat people in an airplane "sidecar" that's barely attached, and record their reactions.
Reality TV? Oh, it's a drama-generating torture box for sure. The noise level of that compartment would be at or above hearing damage levels. Especially on smaller aircraft where the aft engine intake is right behind that nonsense. And Randall has drawn this without any egress into the plane, so no bathroom access and you can just forget about refreshments.
Ive been falling out of the trash hole for years now. No one told me that flight was suborbital.
