That second galley behind 6EF (757-100 american planes) is the domocile of the Ecomony cabin crew.
Technically the Lav behind 5AB and the jump-seat is also designated as ecomony space.
CHARLES.. look at the trouble you got into with a First Class FA .. I should shudder to think of you going toe-to-toe with an Economy mavin for pinching from HER sacred galley.
Well when you do .. let us know where they store those plastic zip-lock things they use as handcuffs when they restrain you. Stealing from Ecomony . Charles .. your very SMART girlfriend won't be able to talk you out of that one!!
ding ding . ding ding... that what they are meant for!

No-- one person was ejected, brp.
Wait, so if I'm seated in the last row of F on the 757-100 then I'm supposed to use the lavatory in the front by the cockpit, even though the forward Y lav is closer?
Usually I use the closest lav and try to stay away from the one by the cockpit. So if I am on the 777 in F I usually use the lav between F and J. On the 767s to HNL I usually go to the one just after the Y-F partition. I always thought the use the lav in your cabins was to keep people from Y from using the F/J lavs?

Please do not discourage these posts. I have flown millions of miles on AA, revenue and non-revenue since birth and nothing EVER happens to me of any interest. I am able to live vicariously through CharlesMD's interesting encounters.

Sigh, I was hoping this story was going to include the stewardesses trying out their newly provided taser guns. "Club Soda larceny in 4B! Engage! Go, go, go!"

I'm surprised we haven't seen anyone urging you to write AA to demand 5,000 miles as compensation for the shabby service you received.

Thanks for the correction SNA-Flyer. I stand corrected...
AA has two 757's in their fleet. The AA legacy planes and the TWA planes. I always thought they were 100 and 200 (with the 200 being longer and having the extra door WAY back in economy).
Seatguru lists them both as 757-200 (legacy and TWA versions) .. tho on the Airlinesnet page I found the proper designations...
The standard passenger aircraft is designated the 757-200, there being no 100. The stretched 757-300 is described separately.
Guess me and seatguru are wrong! They REALLY are 757-200 (AA legacy) and the 757-300 (TWA variant) The 757-300 shares the 200's cockpit, wing, tail and powerplant options, although the 300 will feature strengthened structure and landing gear to cope with the increased weights, new wheels, tyres and brakes and a tailskid.
Configurations and details at http://www.airliners.net/info/stats.main?id=102 and http://www.airliners.net/info/stats.main?id=101
WOW I learned something new! That and Charles girlfriend must be WAY smart!

Pretty gutsy
A pretty gutsy move by the good doctor. I definitely would not remove anything from the galley for fear of TSA.
