“Whiny travelers make for grumpy airline employees at gates & en route.”

Flight from Seattle to Houston

Airline:

Continental

RT/OW

Round Trip

Number of Stops:

No stops

Date of Flight:

April 2011

Seat Class:

economy

SEA/IAH: 8:20am departure. The flight was sold out, but not overbooked. Gate attendants had a carryon sizer and required people to test their large bags. The more people who whined & pleaded & argued that they had brought their carryons to Seattle with no problem, the less flexible the gate attendants became. Sure enough, at least a dozen people had to gate check bags. They were unhappy, and at least two directed it towards the attendants during flight with predictable results.

IAH/SEA: 9:20am departure, possibly overbooked. I volunteered to be bumped at checkin, but not needed. No sizer, much smoother boarding.

“Why Do Seats Have To Lean Back”

I have always wondered why with the limited space in coach, why the seats have the ability to lean back. On a 4+ hour flight on the person in front of you fully lean back and try to lean further back. It makes you space very small.
