The post whore thread.

I applaud your efforts. I wish more people would tell parents to manage their kids in public.

DON"T TELL ME HOW TO RAISE MY KIDS!

Okay okay okay, I guess I didn't use enough profanity in my rant. I'm just so freaking sick of entitled "get out of my way so I can encroach on your space" type of people with no respect for others' property. Once again, someone dropped their bag on me, while trying to jam it in the overhead ONTO my backpack (which I'll admit was covered by my jacket, but still). When I told them I had a bag up there and to be not damage my laptop, they tried pulling it back and then lost control and dropped it on me. I'm also sick of people walking through aisles (not just boarding) and somehow still hitting you with their arm, side, butt, whatever. Smelly people just suck in general.

On the other hand, the crying baby in my row, other side of the aisle was quite soothing. In fact, it made me a little homesick. I miss my baby!!!

BC: I know that my carryon is a bit on the big side for a carry on. Knowing this, I play the game: If the ladies get a small carryon item, like a purse, then so do I. The difference is this: I ALWAYS gate-check my carry-on, and my small personal bag is actually medically required equipment that I HAPPEn to have stuffed my ipad into. I gate-check, then watch my movie, read my book, etc.

I'm with you on the rules. I think the obstacle course is the best part.

And I'm sure Belly that you have respect for other people and aren't an ass. 99% of the people that I saw today all had huge backpacks and roll on luggage. Frick, I'm a cheapskate and I pay the $25/bag (not anymore though, yay upgraded class or something!) because its a hassle to have a roll on everywhere! Its also annoying when people drag them like 5ft behind themselves, then cut you off and expect you to wait for their bag to pass. It's like the idiot who makes a left turn in front of you while driving and forgetting their pulling a 40ft trailer. I actually might have kicked a few bags intentionally today... I might try to flip some over next time...

While I don't disagree, and have many other rules I don't feel like posting at the moment, if you are Gold and board early, what's the beef?

That said, UA flyers will know what I'm talking about when I say the the Gold flyers are PISSED that they have to board in priority 2 lane with us lowly Silvers and everyone that has a UA CC entitling priority 2 boarding. I actually now fall into that last group until I get my status back (missed it by >< that much last year).

Don't even get me started on the "priority" lanes. That's just freaking absurd entitlement. Then they yell at anyone congregating in the "coach" line because "we're not boarding you yet". Then why have two freaking lines?! Everyone already sees the people that spend way too much time traveling when they call for the special people who, reality check, get to stay on the plane LONGER than everyone else. Shouldn't the gold/silver/platinum/executiveplatinum/polishedturd groups board last and get off first?

We just say very loud. That SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHECKED IN YOU RUDE IDIOT. That usually prompts an attendant to handle it. The spouse and I are not friendly sky people.

You honestly remind me of a family member of mine. They will ALWAYS let others know of their feelings, but man oh man, if you cross them or bring them the entree with stuff you asked TWICE for it not to be on, dear god help you lowly waiter/ess!

Do you yell at them to vaccinate their kids too? Wonder if that's a legit excuse for getting relocated on a plane. Ask if the kids are vaccinated. If they say no, demand to be relocated as you don't want to be near them.

However I did read an article about the air filtration system on planes and it was pretty remarkable.

And on a lighter note, in case you haven't been to Seattle before it really DOES rain here every day!

So... Is it a good idea to wear an N95 the whole time you're on the plane?

I think I would be stopped at the gate if I rolled through with my M50

Oh, sorry no. It was basically like 100 times cleaner than you'd expect. The filtration and ventilation system replaces the air on the entire plane every 5min. It was so ridiculous I didn't believe it, especially since you don't feel mass quantities of air flow. I doubt I could find the article again. Heck, I probably read it in a magazine on the plane

I read the same article. You are actually breathing air that is from outside the plane. On the engine inlets, there is a opening before the chamber where fuel is mixed in. It pulls the air into the cabin to replace all the air.

That's cool. Doesn't necessarily mean you are safe from contagious disease or illness, but that's way better than I assumed for circulation.
