I could have been more clear in the original post... naturally, i was referring to coach bulkhead seats. it may be a completely different story in business or first... but in economy, taking a bulkhead seat is gambling, and I think the odds are against the gambler... in a big way.

if i was over 6'2", i probably would want, on a widebody, the aisle seat on either outside section... but i wouldn't take a chance on any other bulkhead seat.

i read, i think it was Northwest, is going to charge like $15 for exit row seats which are more spacious... now that might really be worth it... i'll bet some of you would pay up to $100 for those on a long flight.
