Strictly by the rules this may have been shenanigans, but this is shenanigans I can handle. People who truly have important calls/conversations don't act like this (or even talk loud in cafe's or other public places) so this was not really that important of a call. :-)

Sitting in 1B on a long haul yesterday (that unbeknownst to me at the time was going to become 2 hours longer due to weather) and overhead a FA conversation that gave me a good chuckle.

When the boarding door closed, one seat in FC was open. The FA looked at the upgrade list and sought out the #1 waitlisted Medallion member seated back in 23F to let him know he could move to first class. She approached him just as the 'turn off your cell phones' message was completed. He happened to be on his cell phone, when she spoke up to offer him the seat all she got out was "Sir...". He went ballistic, yelling at her that he was on an important call, he'd get off the damn phone when he was done, and to get off his back.

She proceeded to tell #2 on the list the FC seat was open for him to take.

:D

Well that sucks for him, tht FA was letting him knw he can move from his coach seat, to a FC seat, but he lost his chance, so therefore number 2 got his chance.

in other words, #2 got upgraded instead of #1 because even though #1 was about to be notified of his upgrade, his rudeness caused the FA to skip him, and since #2 is right after #1, #2 got the upgrade.

Also, I like turtles.

Could probably find his post by searching for the most recent "shenanigans!" thread ?

Would you tell on another pax that is on the phone or listening to ipod,ipad,mp3 or kindle when they are told to turn them off?
