I have been noticing more and more people heading for the back of the plane lately. It used to be that you could grab a seat back there, and likely find a partly empty row, as most people would be filled in from the front down. Now it seems more people pick seats further back, so the back ends up just as congested, if not worse, than the front.
As far as I am concerned - they want me to move up to where it is more crowded,let them give me the same amount of room I get back there.
