UA's seats - absorbs methane pretty well

Has anybody noticed that other airlines don't have seats that absorb methane very well. It seems United has really put a lot of thought into it. But if I shift, that's when it breaks loose.

QFT! We really need the shifty-eyed animated smiley... like this guy - hehe

I wonder if that is an engineers job at Boeing...or like the guy who came up with the "slow-close" toliet seat damper on the trip-7?

I think I sat next to you last week, Stinky! Keep your gas to yourself! I don't know why people think they can get away with secretly passing gas on an airplane...it is no secret to those around you!

Really, I have never cared to test them out. That's all I have to say about that.

There is an exception - the cabins outfitted with leather seats. Not only do they not absorb the methane efficiently, they are reported to amplify the sound of methane expulsion.

Maybe your hearing aid doesn't work very well on UA?

I too have noticed that, but so far I've been too embarrassed about it to admit it on FT....
