Several years ago we where delayed in Dallas while waiting for an American Eagle flight to somewhere ... the plane was one of the brand new (then) Embraer turbo-jets replacing the old Fokkers turbo-props... after a 15/30 minutes delay where where 'bused' to the airplane where to much of our surprise we saw a maintenance guy coming out of the plane with a roll of ducktape!!! seems that was used to fix a seat!! or so he told us!!

PS. Flight was un-eventful ... and one seat (with ducktape) was empty
