Dear Dingo,

I read all your entries with great interest. I wish that the airlines would bring this nonsesne to a stop in a cramped Economy cabin and block the recliners once and for all. I am certain that it is a trigger for more air rage than anything else. I try to keep within my space and not inconvenience others. I had a Swiss airline official upgraded behind us on 12 Jan out of HNL in F. He must have pulled my seat back five times before we wvwn left the gate. I knew of his status because I speak German and I heard him speaking in the Admiral Club. A well placed word stopped that, thank heavens. I won't tell you what was said as I am rather asjamed that I was not as courteous as I should have been. Equally, as posted elsewhere, a Pan Am FA on positioning LHR-CDG on a packed L10111 with 5 piece of hand luggage had stuffed one under the seat in front of me. She told me I could put my feet on it. I told her to remove it. She refused. I called a British Airways Cabin Attendant. She put Pan AM straight. It was a wonderful sight. The Worlds Favourite Airline telling the Worlds Rudest Airline a few home truths about behaving as a passenger! Ilove the line about the muscles used for smiling or frowning. Is it true?
