    I scored 1

    I voluntarily do not fly. I hope the government subsidized system collapses. a free market system with government safety oversight should take the place of this dead cow.

    Well, loaded questions. Obviously, someone has a grudge.

    1. I take my shoes off. I didn't realize it was an arsehole thing to do.

    I was a bit baffled on the "let everyone know you're a frequent flier." I mean, I get short-line privileges, I show my FF card when it's called for, I get early courtesy boarding, so of course they all know I'm a frequent flier. I don't make a scene about it, but I do accept the privileges they want to give me. So if that's yes, then I have a score of 2.

    I've seen people act out in all the ways they talked about. All of that acting out hasn't improved air service.

    And I know people who boycott the airlines. But the flights are still pretty full.

    Um, this isn't Member Boards or Political Poo ArmySGT. Either take the quiz and post your answer to contribute to the thread, or stay out.

    To satisfy your flamin hizzy fit. Oh yeah welcome to the Lounge.

    6 to 12 - You are a borderline "Flying ARSE."

    Bull shit questionnaire, since I do not have Children and all of the FF questions do not apply.

    The times you're above major cities and close enough is when your fricken phone should be off anyway.

    scored a 2. I also take my shoes off, but my feet do not stink I swear they don't. Oh, and I sometimes unbuckle my seatbelt just before the plane reaches the gate, but that hardly makes me an arse.

    I would add a couple of questions or maybe if I was the king of air travel, make some rules...

    1-If you have to ride bitch (ie if you get stuck in a middle seat), you have automatic right to both armrests.
    2-If you are shorter than 6 feet, you are not allowed to sit an emergency exit or bulkhead seat unless you are with someone over 6 feet.
    3-You must ask permission of the person behind you before you recline your seat (I know many will disagree with me on this, but imagine my plight...I am 6-5 and my knees alreasy are mashed against the seat in front of me...then some oaf reclines and crunches me up that much more).
    4-Why do people without carry-ons rush to board the plane? Why are you so anxious to get on and sit in an umcomfortable seat? This is why I don't like Southwest (and while I'm at it, RyanAir and EasyJet), because their seating system forces me to be like this and queue up way early.
    5-Stop grabbing the back of my seat when you get up ten times to go to the bathroom on a 2 hour flight.
    6-Take a shower. I don't want to smell you.
    7-Kids don't bother me UNLESS their parents are doing nothing about them. I just spent 8.5 hours sitting behind a teenage kid who up and down all flight, reclining, not reclining, making all kind of noise, and then his parents sent his baby brother back to sit with him and then it got REALLY loud. Meanwhile, asshole parents are sitting up two rows on their fat lazy asses doing NOTHING about it.

    OK rant over.

    Mr Hyde: If you have to ride bitch (ie if you get stuck in a middle seat), you have automatic right to both armrests.

    I like it.

    2-If you are shorter than 6 feet, you are not allowed to sit an emergency exit or bulkhead seat unless you are with someone over 6 feet.

    Guilty. I'm under, but because of FF status, if I have checked bags (meaning, doesn't matter how quick you get off the plane - you're going to wait for bags anyway), I'll snag an exit row seat. (If I have carry-on only, I sit up at the front for a quick exit from the airport.) I do a lot of work on the plane, so the extra room is nice, plus the people in front can't recline. Leading to...

    3-You must ask permission of the person behind you before you recline your seat

    Oh, hell, yes. I never recline because I don't want to crunch the person in back of me. But I can't tell you how many flights I've tried to work with the laptop at an impossible angle because the seat in front of me is competing for my lap space.

    Also, stop bouncing against your seatback to get it to recline even farther.

    4-Why do people without carry-ons rush to board the plane?

    It's a mystery - like why they have to rush off the plane to get to the baggage carousel and then wait 30 minutes.

    5-Stop grabbing the back of my seat when you get up ten times to go to the bathroom on a 2 hour flight.

    Oh, hell, yes, again. It's especially wonderful as you're bringing the coffee up to sip.

    6-Take a shower. I don't want to smell you.
    7-Kids don't bother me UNLESS their parents are doing nothing about them.


    I'll even help keep them entertained. But at least try something.

    OK rant over.

    I'll add:

    Pack the blobs into the same rows.

    Don't let first class use cattle car luggage overheads just because first class gets on first. They have their space.

    If the only food available are tiny bags of chips, mints, nuts, crackers, or biscotti, just hand them out as the people head down the jetway to board. Why bother with pushing a cart up and down to fling those little nothings around?

    If you snore... do not sleep on the plane... seriously... I will hunt you down on the flight and I will smother you with a pillow... or just simply kill you.

    I am sick to death of people snoring so damn loud on the plane that I can hear them over my Ipod.

    Also if your sitting beside me... just shut the fuck up. I do not want to talk to you. Chances are I just worked a 14 hour shift, I just finished packing up all my stuff at the club and came straight to the airport and im tired, cranky and pissed off im on my way to another booking. Let me sleep.

    While we're at it.... I book the window seat for a reason... don't ask me to 'switch seats' with you. I wont.

    A toast to that, JZ!!!

    Ever been caught between one of those carts and a restroom during those fleeting moments when one is actually available? It's like peering over the Berlin Wall...

    Thats when you say fuck it and jump over the seats lol.

    Seriously though another reason why I always book a seat in the last row. Nevermind it saves me from the assholes trying to shove me off the plane at the end of the flight if god forbid I take two seconds to pull my carry on down.

    I dont understand the people who want to run off the plane the second it lands. Seriously there is no point in rushing off... you still have a 30min wait at baggage claim
