Flight from Phoenix to Tampa on a A321 which required a gate start of one of the engines since the APU was INOP. Also required us to fly along the panhandle instead of across the Gulf.
Flight from Tampa to Charlotte on a A321 the bathroom doors kept flying open when not locked. Most of the seats would not stay in the upright position.
Flight from Charlotte to SLC on a A320 that kept making serious pressurization noises, the crew could not go above 28,000 feet, kept playing with the engines and most of the time they were out of sync. More seats that would not stay locked in the upright position. Then on landing they did not use the reverse on the engines. Asked why and the crew (pilots) had a "concern" with them so only used brakes and kept the noise up.
A month later from Denver to LGA on another Airline's A320 again MANY seats that had the "feature" of not locking in a certain position.
I normally fly in Boeing Aircraft or RJ and never seen so many concerns in such a short time. And I've never had a seat back problem over the many decades I've flown in commercial aircraft.
The flight home in a B757 was nice, quiet and at 41,000 feet we get with the program from JFK to SLC.
Of course seats not staying upright, INOP APUs and reveres er issues are nothing compared to what these folks had to deal with.

What airline do you fly? Air Stalingrad? Yikes!
