Sat next to Charles Schumer (dem senator from NY) today on 2185, LGA-DCA. He called anyone that would listen (with his circa 1999 flip phone) to complain about today's NY Times article on immigration and how biased the paper is. That was after many grumblings on how US fills their planes (too many open seats in one area) and nearly telling at the FA when told his bag had to go overhead when in the bulkhead. He tried complaining saying that "they changed this rule and I can now keep my bag on my lap." FA stood their ground and put the bag up.
