Airline Seatmates From Hell: One Man's Story {Gadling}
Oct 5th 2012 7:37PM Flight from YVR to LIH... Air Canada. 2 years ago. Economy...31" Seat Pitch. I am 6'5". I do not lean back in deference to the passenger behind me. Flight was 5.5 hours on a 767. Elderly lady in front of me slams and jams her seat back several times. Turns back and says "move your legs". With my height and the seat pitch it was impossible. This continued for 45 minutes. The old lady then complained to a FA that I would not move. The FA advised her that there was no room for he to decline. The old lady got very upset then started to tell me that I should have booked a business class seat if I need all this room. Turns out the old bat was having a nic fit and couldn't wait to light up as soon as she could.
Another AC flight. 8 years ago. YVR to YYZ. Red eye. I had a bad cold but need to be in YYZ for an early morning meeting. me still 6'5". Seat pitch 29". Pregnant lady in front of me insisted her seat recline. Despite the actual pain I was in the flight crew refused to do anything. Seat was reclined so far back that the meal (this is when they served meals) tray could not fully deploy. As my passive aggressive self kicked in I insisted the meal and drinks be placed in the aisle beside me therefor interrupting any thing the fa's did for the rest of the flight. I was sure to ask for water every 20 minutes and bash the seat in front of me every 5 minutes.

Assigned Seats? Airlines Face Heat For Discriminatory Seating Policies {Gadling}
Aug 13th 2012 9:00PM The airlines have the information of who is who and where they are sitting. You would think that seats would automatically be blocked when there are minors traveling alone. Expensive mistake otherwise.
Airline Madness: Gadling's tournament of airline annoyances {Gadling}
Mar 12th 2012 9:16PM Choked that you have targeted the obese in society. It is not a choice it is a condition. I don't see drunk captains, stupid airline execs or misogynistic legislators on the list. Shame.

Airlines now say new rule violates right to free speech {Gadling}
Jan 4th 2012 6:36PM One should note that no other industry abuses their customers like airlines. You will never go into a starbucks and order a $1.81 coffee and pay $7.95 for it.
