Honeywell officials and major airlines are reaching the final agreements that will give Honeywell travelers an exclusive business class: Advantage Wheel Well©. Rumored to be the linchpin of the industrial giant’s latest cost containment venture, Advantage Wheel Well© is expected to save the company over $5.0 Million per year in travel costs.
Participating airlines are already outfitting lavatories with seat belt toilets, which will be used by Honeywell travelers during takeoff. Once the Fasten Seat Belts lights are off, flight attendants will guide travelers through a special opening under the aisle, and seat them comfortably at the airplane’s wheel well.
“The available space is a big bonus”, said Honeywell’s Aerospace President and Chief Executive Officer, T. Mahoney, “and there is surprisingly much less grease than I expected.”
The new business class is expected to be available to employees at the end of this year’s annual layoffs.
Honeywell did not respond to requests for comments about the rumored “Under the Stairwell”, an agreement supposedly being forged with Motel 6.
