Bring back the train restaurant car instead

That's the JFK Jr plane before picture

Now do the after

IMO, this tends to look better in photos than real life. When you actually see and touch it, it's obvious how everything is cheap plastic. That gold trim, in particular.

Real life sober or real life on cocaine tho

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Uncomfortable seats that rip too easily.

Yeah, it looks like a set from a deleted Scarface scene, and I don't mean that in a good way – it's exactly as convincing as it has to be to fool the audience.

Why can’t they use good quality materials when they build it?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

Weight. Shiny plastic is much lighter than shiny metal.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Unfortunately this is the downside of cocaine.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Think about the profits for the shareholders!

[–] groet@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is what the shareholders buy with their profits

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Proof that they need more profits. Get back to work, plebeian.

Private jets shouldn't exist in the first place.

Not enough marble and gold

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I have no idea what a 2020s private jet looks like. Or any decade, really.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 6 points 20 hours ago

from movies and annoying posts they look luxurious with the aesthetic of passenger airlines, good seats good space, but boring

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Its great until you realize its all asbestos and lead.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

lead

Isn't aircraft stuff supposed to be made, lightweight?

[–] swagmoney@lemmy.ca 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

i believe they were referring to leaded paint

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 0 points 9 hours ago

Oh. But that won't really be the designers fault, no?

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 day ago

And cocaine

There's gonna be a lot of broken glass when the plane hits some turbulence.

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Glass containers with magnetic bottoms problem solved

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Or the unbreakable glass from the 80's that was phased out because we can't have lifelong durability in consumer products anymore.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

But someone told me a glass of water counteracts magnets.

[–] stray@pawb.social 1 points 16 hours ago

No, that's T-rexes.

... Unless it's because T-rexes are magnetic?? Unsure.

[–] Mk23simp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not like we'll ever have money for a private jet anyways.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You hit the nail on the head. People are posting this shit as if they don't get to experience this because of changes in design, not because they're comparing old luxury with modern economy.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Check this out, though. The author commented that he bought all the stuff for cheap from ebay and such.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 15 points 1 day ago

How to hide cigarette holes 101

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looks retro cool but also stuffy

That's not a bad description of the 80s in general, lol

[–] Bonus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Death And Co and their ilk is pretty much this.
