Hi,

I have to agree with the others. There are some aspects of the on-board environment that the airline- as the operator of the aircraft-- can not really "fix"..

While the aircraft may "belong" (in general terms as there are many leased aircraft which are not a ownership basis) to the airline, they are NOT free to make changes to it as they please.. ANY modifications have to undergo a pretty rigorous screening process.

So largely you and I have to live with whatever the aircraft is built to provide in terms of air flow systems and the like. Hopefully going forward the enviornment on next-gen aircraft will be better.
