Row 14 B, middle seat.
The speaker is loud and clear, the stewardess goes through that same old talk about if the plane is going down. Then, she talks about the bathrooms. She mentioned that on my Northwest Airline flight we have a total of 3 bathrooms, 2 in back and 1 in the front. We're then instructed not to use the front bathroom because they don't want us disturbing the first class passengers, all 8 of them. Shortly after the do not disturb notice a half size cloth is placed to section off the 80 people in "coach" from the first class.
Interesting I thought... After all this time of segregation and talk of being on the same playing field shouldn't airplanes be more aware of their divide? Can't we change up this terminology a bit? What is this the Titanic? Are we now the bottom dwellers? Us, non first classers, it's first class and then there is everyone else.
We're still living in a class system in so many ways, how come they don't change this? We have so much trouble in airports and flying yet we decide to lay a cloth on a puddle for those in first class. Even the demeanor of flight attendants change when the elusive first class is around. You know when you go to the zoo and you see a caged bird from a distance and you know, no harm can be done so you talk to it...some kid throws food at it... people laugh and take pictures. THEN... you head to the Lions and people stare in awe, they marvel when a Lion licks it's paws as if it's some cute rarity. Well, the first class is the lion and our society allows the groveling.
What a concept.... treat someone you don't know better because of the money they may or may not have. And unfortunately this runs through all of society...I too am at fault for it.
Moving on: AIRPLANE SUGGESTION TIME!
I think their should be cubby holes for the designated seats so there isn't so much fussing about whose bags go where. I personally think it would eliminate much stress in the flying world.
FLYING, what a concept.
