Brit,

To take something in teh main forums here, I don't know this passengers exact case, but there are WAY too many people that claim disability these days that have none at all.

Oh, I completely agree. And that wasn't my point in my comments. I was just particularly miffed by the fact that people were treating her anxiety disorder as some sort of joke.


What I really don't like to see are people making light of mental illness. People being insensitive to mental illness. Or people being complete a$$holes about mental illness.

Mental illnesses can be devastating, and of course, being a psychologist, I suppose I am perhaps a tad more sensitive about people being so dismissive of mental illness.

I do entirely too much, I even sleep and invent at the same time. :confused: That one really baffles me.

I often solve problems in my sleep, waking up when I have the answer. Was a PITA when I ran support for a software firm.

Yes, it is. Although, I have to say, after having just read the Anxiety attack thread, being in a pi$$y state of mind and then reading that one, I was about to give sbm12 a smack about the head for being so black/white and definitive about not sitting in the exit row ...... but I didn't!, becasue I knew he'd one-up me and smack me harder!!!! :p:p:p

^ me too. I find it quite annoying to solve problems in my sleep. When I'm asleep, I want to sleep, not do anything else!

Does AA offer the option to buy bonus miles on flights (e.g. $50 for 2x miles on a DFW-LGA trip)? UA has something akin to this. I can't find anything comparable from AA right now.

Anyone know definitively?

Here's my thing on that. It IS a black/white issue. There is no gray. And when someone is selfish in a manner that puts others at risk I take exception.

We'd all like to think that we'd behave rationally and handle an evac in a sensible manner. Looking at history and what actually happens in those events, however, it is clear that such is much less common than folks would like to believe. Someone stating that they'd be OK in an exit row because their spouse would deal with the kids is lying to themselves.

I did like the way 5 different people assumed that I didn't bother reading the post. That was fun.

What can brown do for me? not much....make me sit here all day working when I want to be doing my own thing!
