I want to say this was back in 86 or 85. I was flying back from school (BOS-ORD). My friend and I jumped on the plane, had a seat right next each other settled in and relaxed. After about 15 minutes, the usual announcements the ground crew pushed back the plane. Both of us looked at each other and then in back of us. In Y, there were maybe 10 other people. I don't recall what plane it was, but the seatin config was 2-5-2.
Wierd to be in a plane that was empty.
Oh, later we both grabed an entire row of 5 and took a snooze.
