Chairs are the counterpart to skyways. The opposite, the complement, the spouse and foil, the doppleganger of the spirit of the skyways. If you can't skyway, then chairway. I just coined that term. "Do you want to go grab a beer?" "Naw, I think I'm just gonna chairway for a while here, maybe watch American Idol."
When I first started long haul treks in the skyways, there were times suspended in the fugue of space where I would have paid to have a chair available. The skyways impose an inexorable falling-forwardness, a pace often dictated by the surge of appetites borne on the wave of office borgs in front of and behind you. I might document the few seating places intrinsic to the skyways there are. Such as there are, they are usually quite nice.
