A Delta Air Lines economy passenger was spotted inflight on a four hour flight using his seat as a standing desk. He’s resting his laptop on top of his seat back, and facing backwards to work. This is a power move.
Indeed, it is. I’m not sure how he is actually standing, though. The seat back of the row behind him as he stands, the row in front of him as is numbered and when he sits, seems to me unlikely to help with standing like this. Granted, the plane and the seat configuration could accommodate this approach. Also, maybe he kneels on the seat.
Regardless, I would not do this. I do not want to look away from my screen to see a sea of enraged passengers. But if I’m on a wide body and there’s a surface I can set up my laptop without interfering … that I have done and will do again.
