The point is, you're being rediculous as to be so bothered by someone using a toilet in the first class section.</font>
ajcopley: Perhaps the only thing more "rediculous" [sic] would be someone like you who's bothered by someone bothered by coach pax using a toilet in the first class section.

Without adding to the flames - there have been quite a number of flights I've been on where I don't feel like I should have to go back to row 6 to start a line, but each and every time the lav door opens, and each and every time I go to get up, someone from the back beats me to it, sometimes for 10 to 20 minutes at a go.</font>
I've seen this as well on several flights -- where a couple of those times the FC pax being repeatedly beaten to the lav was my rowmate.

Since I don't want to listen to 20 minutes or so of whining from my neighbor, a couple of those times I rang the FA call button, pointed out the situation and asked if it's necessary for FC pax to go line up behind row 6. In each case, the FAs got the point and professionally and politely made arrangements to stem the flow from coach.

It does seem odd though that Alaska is getting a reputation where the First Class pax need to ask to use the FC lav while the coach pax don't.
