Reasons I enjoy being up front that I don't think have been mentioned yet...1. you don't have to worry that extremely overweight person in the waiting area will be sitting next to you 2. Kids won't be kicking the back of your seat (even if they're up front, they can't reach it) 3. Barfers tend not to fly up front. 4. I can sleep, even on domestic flights. The "get a life" statement applies to anyone that does too much of any one thing, including business travel...however I do think some fters go a little overboard by flying to join other fters somewhere. There is more to life than commiserating with other fters in some distant local. I'll see you on the plane instead!!
