Wow, thanks for everyone's responses! When DH first found out his company would pay our tix in lieu of his business class fare, he IM'd me and said ...I could have had a nice, cushy, plenty of leg room seat so far from teh back of the plane that I couldn;t even hear the chickens, roosters and the goats in the back... but noooooo...

Guess that sums up everything I have heard today as well!
