Well, here’s the press release that inventories all the “environmentally friendly interior materials” being used, among them Flor carpet panels, a “Life Vest Pouch” and “Passenger Seat Rub Strips,” which aren’t nearly as kick-ass as they sound. Then there’s the time-lapse video above, which plays better if you turn down the sound and crank up — you guessed it — “Yakety Sax.” Maybe American Airlines (oh, poor American Airlines) oughta try the same thing — if nothing else, it’d guarantee at least one clean plane in the fleet.
