C'mon Ric, let's not be silly! We both know they used camping chairs to ferry those aircraft. ð
Desert camo fabric no doubt.
Look - if wicker chairs were good enough for PAA pax, why does AA need plush seats??

Stop it with the excuses of how complicated the seat is to make. The problem is the French work ethic. 34 hours per week, with 44 (count 'em folks) holidays, and six weeks vacation it's no wonder there is no place to sit.
Doug Parker would do well to have his seats made in America, have them made right, have longer MTBF, and perhaps an American could feed a family.
It is not like the work order was let last week. Everyone else made everything from windshield wipers to tail cone on time. I pity the poor pilots that had to fly all the way from Boeing field to Mojave standing up.

Best of all, the Chinese will be able to meet the production timetable with ease by roping in a few more paddy field peasants for assembly.
It'll be a shame about the quality and lifespan of the chairs, but hey! - airline management will be able to brag about regular renewal of interior fittings!
