I was sitting in the row in front of the exit row one time when the plane was just getting ready to take off. The man behind me started yelling that the exit door was open a crack.

It seemed a first time flyer who was hot had "tried to open the window" for some air.

Needless to say there was much confusion as the door was shut properly. The man demanded to speak to the captain not just the f.a.'s. He wondered if the plane would have taken off if he hadn't sounded the alert.

The co-pilot came back and taked to all of us about air presure and warning lights.

The man demanded another seat and the "too hot flyer" was moved to the back of the plane. Some new people boarded on the next leg and could not believe their good fortune to find the exit row empty.
