You sound very wise, does that wisdom entitle you the ability to label people as extremists because of a news piece that concerns our industry. Keep your assumptions to yourself as you do not know me and I will never be worthy of your wisdom thank goodness.

Just wanted to lessen my extremism. My tax dollars are wasted enough and these petitions can succeed with a sympathetic government. The Arabian proverb "If the camel once gets his nose in the tent, his body will soon follow." Is very relevant to these types of social issues.

Of course, once the trial is complete, perfect truth, equity, and justice will have been determined, because the best way to settle torts or criminal proceedings is to gather 12 random morons, call them “your peers”, and have them rule on extremely complicated legal matters after explaining the nuances to them like they were 5 years old.
(Imagine referencing a legal case as evidence of anything like objective truth in the clown world that is the US legal system).

I’m not defending any network, but you do understand they are legally and by definition innocent ATM, I’m sure.

Have you read the texts? This is apc, not night court.
I do love the mental gymnastics you just did to justify not agreeing with the outcome if it doesn’t go “your” way.
Something like that happened just recently but I can’t quite put my finger on it. You know where a bunch of people didn’t get their way, pitched a giant baby fit, and something happened……..I’ll have to try and remember. In fact I think these might even be inexorably linked. Standby one I’ll get back to you

I know we all have had an experience while non rev or jumpseating and you get placed in that last middle seat on the plane and of course it’s next to some massive ogre spilling into your seat. I recently endured a 5hr red eye with a giant Samoan that had the armrest swallowed by his body. I pretty much had no recourse since I was getting a free ride but it was infuriating. As a paying customer I would have complained but even then it probably would end in the airline offering to reaccommodate me and not the ogre on another flight.

How about lose a few hundred pounds. It’s not the woke thing to say but you’ll fit in the seat and live longer.
Fat shaming is wrong, but it’s just as wrong to glamorize and enable an unhealthy lifestyle.
A friend of my wife’s caused a gate return because they didn’t have an extender for her. She was so embarrassed that she finally got her weight under control, and let’s just say she’s not half the girl she used to be, and has completely improved self esteem.

I want non negative legroom.
I'm 6'4" give or take an inch on what time of day and who's measuring.
I can't make my femur any shorter barring another major surgery, and let's just say I've had enough surgery to probably buy the orthopedic surgeon a house just from my leg. (I've probably also bought the upper extremity guy a nice car and put the spine surgeon's kid through med school)
My leg length is mostly genetics and childhood nutrition. The right one is 17mm shorter but still. Nonrev I get it. But DH or COBUS in coach sucks.
When I called out unfit after a 2.5 hour DH with a slam recliner, "what seat would you buy if you were paying" was seriously asked.
"I cough up the $19 for exit row bud"
But 32B on a 739 is a painful experience even without slam recliner.
