I can't believe he took the time out to sketch out diagrams....

All he had to do was raise hell once they landed. The airline would have given all kinds of free stuff. My ex-partner was the king (queen) of complaining to airlines. We were bombarded with discount/free tickets.

I know where that guy's coming from.

I once was the last person onboard Southwest from Orlando to BWI, so I had to sit in the b*tch seat. It was on the aisle in the very back and there was a wall behind the seat where the flight attendants and the bathroom were. Unfortunately, another moronic designer decided to make it so that half my seat stuck out past the wall into the aisle. When the flight attendant pushed out the cart, she slammed into the back of my head. Whenever someone came back from the bathroom, they would smack into my shoulder, my head, or the back of my seat, causing my head to fly forward. It was a long flight.

I watch Airline on A&E and sympathize with everyone that complains, and the employees justignore their legitimate complaints or come up with some bullsh*t excuse, because that's the same treatment I received from them. The SW employee claimed that maybe it was my fault for leaning into the aisle. Actually, I was practically in the lap of the complete stranger sitting next to me, and everyone's elbows, hips, asses, purses kept invading into my space. I wouldn't even have been able to make diagrams, because the one time I had my tray table down, some woman's enormous purse knocked everything off it onto my lap when she walked by. Including my drink.

Sorry, that complaint hit home for me, so I had to rant. But that guy's definitely not alone in his disgust.

I don't know whether to laugh or...just feel stupider.

I always fly American and they have taken out a few rows of seats and everything is fairly roomy. I also like the extra leg room too as I am tall. My flights are generally to San Jose. CA from Hartford CT, so they are about 6 hours long. I appreciate the extra comfort. If you don't like ap particular airline, choose another.

OMG Orange, you had me laughing so hard that the kitten fell off my lap onto the flooor!! I don't like looking out of the window on planes, so I always take an aisle seat. Shouldn't be a dangerous position right? WRONG! Because I have a really bum knee, I usually have to board first, and then "bam", "bamg","bump", I get smacked in the head with the backpacks that are slung over passengers shoulders. No wonder I always have a splitting headache by the time we take off...

"I watch Airline on A&E and sympathize with everyone that complains, and the employees justignore their legitimate complaints or come up with some bullsh*t excuse,"


Those employees are so abused! That show reminds me of all the rude "adults", more like moronic 5 yr olds, that I have to deal with on a daily basis. (But I would say that a lot of airline employees are very rude too, even when you are very nice to them.)

Anyway that note was hilarious.

See when i watch Airline I totally sympathize with the staff. People show up late, drunk, carrying rotting fish, with no ID and expect the plane to fly through a hurricane and get there before it took off. I amuse myself screaming back at the customers: "Yeah, you've got RIGHTS! The right to WALK to Las Vegas, buttwipe!"

That made my day. Whenever I watch Airline I'm always like "crap, that's something my mom would do."

Hey - SeatGuru is a nice sight - at least it gives you some insight into how your flight will feel.
