So they may have had to deadhead a crew in. But since that flight was full, they may all be on 759 with me.

Which means this guy could be an active duty captain.
So assuming this is an active duty captain, why was he on 739?

YYC-YVR this morning, passenger next to me in 2F spent the entire flight picking her cuticles and scattering the dead skin on the the floor, on the centre console and in between her arm rest and the window. Looked like we had a mini snow storm by the end of the flight at which point she had proceeded to using a nail file.

Did you manage to inhale some of the dusty skin and nail bits that began percolating through the air near you?

I’m pretty sure I did. Likely had some on the omelette as well.

As I said, deadheading.

When my CRA was downgauged to a Q400, I was sitting beside the FO who was supposed to fly the CRA.

Man, what is wrong with people. That is disgusting.

Are you sure she did not do some yoga in the aisle as well?

I asked for a reason.

I thought at least for AC, DH captains are to wear their uniform, but you had confirmed that your seatmate was not in uniform.

But I could be wrong. I didn't bother asking other sources to confirm the uniform while DHing thing.

I remember once on a YYC-FRA flight, an upgraded passenger was un-upgraded. Pretty sure it was for a last minute captain deadheading. Who was not in uniform. I would think they are if they take control of their next flight upon arrival, but probably not if they overnight before flying.

AC607, an e190 YHZ/YYZ.

12F (bulkhead) spent 30 seconds making 12d get up, and 13d to "move his feet" so to jam her bag under 12d. Unsurprisingly, free of 13f's feet, she was still unable to push it past the barrier. Undisturbed by this, she gave up and just jammed her bad the right way under 12d, in 13ds slot.

As I type that, FA took away her lose purse and put it in a bin. And as I type that, she complained she (at 5'2) had no legroom.

Sounds so familiar! Did 13d say/do anything? I suspect not...

The last time the passenger in front of me did this, I pushed their bag back through with my feet.
