And remember: F, J and Y seats take off and land at the same time.
Yup. Sometimes it kind of hits me, thinking about the day before my boss asked me if I wanted to get on the International merry-go-round rather than sitting in a California office all day. The long flights. Sleeper seats on the plane. 5 star hotels. Limos picking me up at the airport. Passports getting filled up over and over again. It's not the Ozzie and Harriet life I had been planning on.

I remember taking pictures of the seat the first time I was in Business Class so I could show all my friends what a VIP I was.
