It never fails that the people in the first row in the middle are seated as everyone tries to squeeze by them to get to the other side. I usually sit along the left aisle so it isn't a problem for me.

I could live with the climbovers during boarding, it is during the flight that bothered me.

Why is there a Disney Adobe Flash Ad blocking the search CO forum function on the main CO forum page? At least for me it is in Mozilla.

My other complaint is the lack of a curtain in the galley, I guess I never noticed it before but after flying around Asia last month on different carriers, I noticed they have curtains to block the light from the galley and lav area preventing it from going into the cabin.

I hadn't noticed the light issue on the 767s, but I've only flown them during the daytime. I'll have my first overnight on a CO 767 in November.

I also like the center section on the 777s, and often book it for long haul overnight flights. It's nice to be able to get a drink refilled from a FA in either aisle, and I love never having to climb over someone to get to the aisle, or having someone else trying to climb over me to get to the aisle. I'll only do the window seats in BusinessFirst on an overnight flight if I'm traveling with someone, so that at least I'm not having to climb over, and risk falling on, a complete stranger (or have to deal with waking a stranger to let me get out to the aisle).

It's that reason why I don't like exit rows on 777s. Everyone "needs" to take a look out the door window and they step on my feet in the process.

Being a Y lizard I stay clear of the galley on night flights because of the light and noise issue.

All this talk about the 764/2, I guess I need to fly on a CO one at some point.

At least now I don't feel so bad if I have to miss the next local DO!
Considering I was using a VDB voucher (taking myself off a CR2 to fly a real plane), it was nice to get on a plane (even a CR2 for 861 miles) to meet most of you all.
Cool!^

Me too. Especially as my next trip (18 Sept) is to AUA on real aircraft and in F.

I'm sure that'll be a nice one!:-:

Thank you!:D

Agreed. Since I've stopped paying attention to "mainstream" news I've been a much happier person.
Same here!:-:
I did. :p

I plan to do the same!:D

I do the same -- pay cc bill w/coins!^
I have to go to UPS in BB to pick up my order.:mad: They attempted to deliver (3X) while I was away -- this was after I was informed, at order time, that it would be delivered after the 9th! I will make that an errand on thurs. while I'm out & about & plan to make a deposit on the way home!

Interestingly, the day got better after that 86K post! My son called to ask to be picked up from school -- many books! :rolleyes: Hadn't seen him for a while, so it was fun! He's now a HS sophomore!:)

I really like the 764. Not a big fan of the 762.

Yes, you do.

I've flown every CO 762 except for one. Maybe I'll get lucky Friday and it will be operating my flight.

Why is that?

Or, you can do as I have done and stretch your leg out, point toward the galley, and say, "Please use the galley to cross."
