Made me feel real comfortable knowing 80 pounds made such a difference.<br /><br />I also with you about the touching. I am an introvert who finds crowds uncomfortable. I find unwanted physical contact with people I don't know uncomfortable -- regardless of sex or orientation.<br /><br />What upsets me is the lack of respect for me as person.

When there's little cargo or bags (and most people are carrying them on now to avoid fees) and you have more of the people sitting up front, you are going to be out of the weight and balance envelope forward. It will likely still take off, but you're a test pilot then if an engine quits. So you have to move folks.

Gaucho-jet 145 balance.
I have been asked toooo...1. Gaucho-jet 145 balance.<br />I have been asked toooo many times to give up my much-needed bulkhead seat to "balance the plane".<br />I usually try to hold out for some other sucker, sorry, 'volunteer' to take one for the team... If the flight is 2.5+ hours- scroo 'em. I'm not sitting in pretzel position for the duration... Let some young snot-nose backpack toting granola muncher get this one.<br /><br />2. I'm with you.<br />I don't care about your orientation, just your character and your competence. As long as you aren't out actively trying to recruit me, I could give a FRA.<br />This is the same feeling I have regarding most religions... Wanna piss me off and really alienate me? Make me the object of your proselytizing... Make my 'conversion' your long-term goal... <br />You will find I know more ways to press your spiritual hot-buttons than your average agnostic, and I will take great delight in lighting you up like a pinball machine if you persist after the first warning...<br />The Big Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973716466048213786noreply@blogger.com
