You know it is interesting that you should write about this. Just a few months ago I was returning from Chicago to San Diego on a 737-800 with about 70 uniformed sailors who had just graduated from Great Lakes Naval Training Center. I was seated up front & went back and asked one service member if he would like to take my seat - who declined after asking his unit leader - who told him that it wouldn't be fair unless ALL 70 of them could come up front.

I found it both too bad and amusing at the same time. Has anyone else had this experience?
