Right and the motto could be: When being on the ground is too much of a pain, Spectrum Airways can keep you sane.

Sanity is overrated.
That said, just make sure they don't reduce the size of the seats any further.
Good. Then we can put you in the overhead compartment instead.
Space comes at a premium these days...
I don't know about going, but I do know that it starts at a very specific time and everyone is expected to follow the rules to the letter unlike those other conventions. You will be told every detail on everything happening, so no surprises and certainly no obligation to be interested!
I don't think so. Luckily the FAA has something to say about that.
I jest only because just a few days ago I saw a news story where the airline industry is apparently again seeking to shrink the size of seats to increase overall capacity on aircraft in general.
True, but then it also appears quite apparent that the airlines industry doesn't give a damn about what the consumers want. But then many industries reflecting inelastic demand don't care either.
Operating essentially on a premise that they are a collusive monopoly.
At your convention, an adjoining quiet room could be set up much like The Diogenes Club in the Sherlock Holmes stories. There should be plenty of comfortable chairs but also a strict no-talking and no-looking-at-each-other policy. You can either sit quietly, staring out the window and scowling, or read.

Again? Ugh, I already have my knees squeezed like heck and pushed to the sides of the sit and get hit with the snack cart every time they ride through the aisle...
We have two seperate threads at this point but l now christen this thread the convention slash Spectrum Airlines thread. lol
As @Kalinychta said we could also have badges that say no contact or yes, you can stare and talk to me.
At this point there should be a famous museum of popular people on the spectrum, there are many writers, comedians that are well-known. Seinfeld is thought to be.
But if a convention; darker rooms, soft microphones, soundproof walls, headphones, first aid stations with isolation tanks, and 911 for the real squeamish, but no siren.

I am not sure about spectrum stewardess, if they stim alot your red wine may end up on your head, like do we test for that, (question on employment form - where do you see yourself on the stim rating scale-1 =never 5=only on airplanes 10=Severe stimming under turbulence conditions
Yes, we could have airline terminal screens with all the info as you walk into convention lobby, that way you don't have to talk to anybody. And we could have robots take coats.
