One of the aesthetically nice things about flying is the lack of clutter, the feeling that I'm getting away from all the crap down below. Sounds like some of you are okay with that crap at 35,000 feet.

If FTers don't say something about this loudly, it may become a reality very very soon. I vote a resounding
I don't think you need letters -- as long as people feel this way (as people seem to), it won't happen. Why would an advertiser pay money to display a product in a place that raises negative, not positive, feelings?
