    Yep, urban legend. Most of the international carriers in this thread have exactly the same pitch as most of the US carriers.  A few have an extra inch or too but only on certain equipment, certainly not across the board. 

    That extra inch isn’t exactly life changing. And I’d know about the desire for extra inches... I’m your mom.

    depends on whether that extra inch is where your shins are or not.  ex: singapore airlines had a footrest that folded down from the back of the seat in front of you.  up, my shins were touching it.  down, it interfered with stretching out my legs under the seat.  probably great for manlets and women, not good for me.

    They had the right idea to make a minor football league work, but they tried to get too much coverage, too soon. You don't pay the networks to cover your games; they pay you.

    iirc indycar/cart used to pay for airtime for races not named the indianapolis 500. 

    seems like these guys had an inkling of a business idea and then decided to try to beat mcmahon to the punch after he'd announced the new XFL.  but they never did fully realize the business plan (assuming one was properly developed in the first place).
