And here I figgured you put the Bose headsets on the camera instead of yourself. Woulda made a great commecial for Bose.
(Not that I ever taped it, but I will promise you that there are worse things. I was on a TATL from CDG one time in business class in which the woman across the aisle had an undrugged cat in a carrier. 9 hours of YOWLING at the top of the cat's lungs. Makes a screaming kid sound like child's play.)
Since I don't have to pay...I'll fly commercial any day...I'm not proud...why lose out on such an unpredictable experience...could it be that most pilots are control freaks anyway?...hum...and not to mention, airline pays for the fuel, not ME. Of course, my flights have never been job related so I never have that extra stress to deal with. And yes, there have been flights that couldn't end soon enough...those have been the most memorable.:smile:
Hence...you prove my point...a chicken by any other name...is still a chicken....could it be that most pilots are control freaks anyway?...hum

Sharon, I don't think we're control freaks. It's about two things - being incredibly bored in the back and having to deal with terrible seats that one can't sleep in. If the seats weren't so bad (even the business ones are domestically), one could at least sleep through the "experience".Since I don't have to pay...I'll fly commercial any day...I'm not proud...why lose out on such an unpredictable experience...could it be that most pilots are control freaks anyway?
Funny, flying commercial puts me to sleep almost instantly. I've occasionally been asleep before takeoff. When I'm not asleep I usually read a book. What I don't like about flying commercial is the time it takes before the flight and the fact that it is often delayed. I'm not much of a control freak either. I figure the odds are with me.Sharon, I don't think we're control freaks. It's about two things - being incredibly bored in the back and having to deal with terrible seats that one can't sleep in.

Spike how did you manage to get the center seat and the screaming kid? Do you have some kind of 'special' status with the airline? LOL!

TSA says no water on the plane, but they let that little ticking timebomb on the plane. Love it.
Scott, I was a volunteer idiot; it was on Southwest, so I had my choice of any seat, and we boarded early enough that there were plenty of seats further back where my travel partner (friend/client) and I could have sat, but "NO," I had to grab those two right together near the front, with the screaming kicking toddler and the colic-afflicted infant immediately behind us. How they managed to be completely silent for the fifteen seconds or so it took for us to select the seats, stow our bags and sit down, I do not know; they were never quiet again, up to and including deplaning in Houston. The young lady in the window seat next to me told me that the toddler was a seat-kicker, too. Nice.
It's worst when they're in First.....
So, WN has gone back to pre-boarding the youngsters? When they started the new boarding process, the preboards went after the A group....
I think I related my flight from Bangor to Seattle (UAL) in the winter of 1986 for the Board Exam. 25F. Huge lady came and plopped herself down in 25 E, whipped up the armrests, and in a flas I was pinned to the outer hull.....for 4 hours.
I bought my first a/c shortly thereafter and it has been, "never again".
