For me it’s not the napping that is most concerning.

Doesn't the 757 business rest seat have a curtain? Maybe I'm thinking of the 767.

I was wondering about the 5th stripe. Was this a thing of yesteryear? Like the guys who still wear their UAL or CAL wings on their coat?

Most of the time there will be a passenger sitting in the seat next to him. It’s a bad set up. The article was written to make a mountain out of a mole hill but it was only a matter of time until this caused some bad publicity.
