The @Air4All system will enable ♿️ users - power or manual - to ✈️ in our chairs. Obvs not for everyone - I’d only do so short-haul & we still need accessible toilets on board - but for many, it’s a game changer. I tried it out at the @VirginAtlantic HQ today. @flyingdisabled 👊🏻

Is it not an increase in IQ score rather than an increase in intelligence per se? And is it still happening?
Darragh Ennis (@bones_giles) profile pictureDarragh Ennis@bones_giles14 Nov 2022
Fun fact: humans are impacted by the Flynn effect. Caused by changes in society, nutrition etc. The Flynn effect causes an increase in intelligence that is equivalent to 3 IQ points per decade.
