Haha I think it's a matter of relativity, really. I understand your feelings...rude pax can be a pain, especially if you're on a plane once a month. However, I'm sure I can attest to many's travel schedules on here. Flying is basically half of my life I have no choice for my job. I've done over 200k club miles since November 2007 on OW alone, and 25k on SA since then. Addtl flights on China Southern, Air France and Northwestern where I'm not even in their club. I am on a plane almost every day. To someone else, I may seem like an a@# when I tell them that's my seat block...which is exactly what I did two days ago. But to me, the other people are the ones that just don't understand, and would probably do the exact same if they were in my situation. So I guess it just matters from the perspective of the person.
