I'm going to be the annoying passenger who's complaining about delay's. Just checked my flight status, for a flight 6hrs ahead of time, and it's delayed 1.5 hrs:( I just want to go home!!!! I've only been awake since 5:30, be in IND at 11:15pm now, and won't get home til 12:30! So anyone going FLL-IND on Airtran tonight, Watch Out!!

The arm rest hog.

Some go so overboard that they are practically leaning on me. I hate spending a whole flight trying to knodge some idiot off of me. Ah, personally space anyone? Plus its kinda creepy.

<---Still in a great mood, flight's delayed another hour. 9:35 departure now! Although the Airtran FA's I talked to earlier were hilarious!

I have honestly had a couple of people on different occasions somehow get a hold of my station phone number and ask me if I know if their flight is going to be delayed. When their flight doesnt leave for another week.

It's so hard to resist sometimes to say to people what I would really like to say.

I don't know..

I was on a redeye AMC contract MD-11 from World Airways out of BWI to Kuwait via Rhein-Main (EDDF) 3 years ago and this guy had his wife and kid, the kid was about 3 years old. The child screamed for at least halfway across the Atlantic. Most of us on the plane were already torqued cuz we had to take that bird all the way down to the desert; no one got any sleep on the first leg...

They are banned, you are not allowed to impede the seat back in front of you.

According to the FAA they aren't allowed during takeoffs, desents, or whenever the tray tables have to be upright and locked. Other than that they are allowed.

I love the people who see a uniform and automatically assume you know everything about whatever airport you are at.

I'm 6'2'' so unless I'm in economy plus I usually never have extra room. I understand the lack of space and at most will only put my seat back a fraction of the distance and always look back to see if I'm bothering the person behind me.

When someone puts their seat back infront of me I usually keep my legs straight so that their seat hits my knees before they get it all the way back. On one occasion, a short middle aged lady found that she couldn't get her seat back all the way and rather than give up she leaned forward and slammed all her weight back against the seat several times to get it to go further. I lost my hold on her last attempt and she won. Only help I got was from the FA who told her to put her seat up so that I could put my tray down to eat. Otherwise the seat pitch was so terrible that with her seat back the tray would only come down about a quarter of the way before the bar hit my knees.

Another lady put her seat all the way back as soon as we took off and left it back while she went elsewhere in the plane (Lav, visiting friends etc). I put it up once for her but when she came back she immediately put it back down, then sat sideways in it as she talked to her friend in the aisle seat (she was in the window seat and the middle seat was open).

The "Is this plane really safe?" guy/gal. (most often asked about the aircraft that needs paint--folks will happily fly a piece of ******* if the paint is new).


"Heck, we've got a roll of duct tape, a rabbit's foot, and a plastic Jesus on the dash.... oh, and my wife doesn't mind my girlfriend. We'll be fine."
