The most comfortable, ergonomically friendly jets designed.
That being said, I'm quite fond of the 757/767.

Haven't flown it. But now I know it can be done.

I hope this was due to being sick or food positioning for the CA's sake!

For all of you reading, I had a coworker take a bunch of vitamins 1/2 way through the flight on an empty stomach. On approach he was preparing to puke and afterwards he said he nearly passed out. I tell everyone I fly with about this....don't be that guy!

Just my .02

People are stupid when it comes to this industry.
And THATS why he's a van driver.

Turns out both of the recent incidents at Alaska are being blamed on the flu.
