When speaking with Mr. Carroll, Dr. Sportelli suggested that he contact frequent flier Scott Donkin, D.C., an ergonomics consultant, and author of Sitting on the Job. I think that says a lot about the elevation of the chiropractic profession. American Airlines took it very seriously when they learned that Dr. Donkin would be rating their business-class seating. The company sent their public relations director and an engineer to answer any questions the seating critic might have. Dr. Donkin spent about four hours, from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., on the American Airlines plane examining the business-class seating.
Most people think that.
Of course, from the chiropractic perspective, comfort means to keep the natural curves in the spine. We need to change the general definition of comfort. Adjusting the seat also includes using blankets and pillows strategically to support the neck and back. Dr. Donkin said these features make it easier to adapt the seats to different passenger heights. People could fit into the seats, but they couldn't fit comfortably.
