I'm 32 years old and gave United $25,000 last year. Why can't I have a few extra seconds to get situated instead of plopping down in the seat with my jacket on and backpack in my lap so I can quickly clear the aisle and then wait for an open spot to jump up and put it in the OH or wait for the FA take my coat?
If you're a family of 3 and have all your seats in a row there's no need for you to be in the aisle. You have a whole row just get the kid in there and move yourself out of the aisle as well.
We're boarding an airplane...not carrying a kid while walking 4 mastiffs and bringing back the office's coffee.
