Sooo... european airlines feminized, just like Ryanair recently did.
Personally, I hated it at first, im bigger than most and I got the seat I wanted without fail. But now when the bums rush happens and everybody que's up. I sit back and relax, I know my seat is allocated by Ryanair.
It happened around the same time absolute idiots demanded to see the price of the fare up front so laws came in to make this happen... which meant that the extras were now taxable. And the airfare was higher (increased tax bill) Soooo they airlines had to find a new way to gouge everyone.
