This is my favorite part of the OP. What would you log in as your preferred seat? Non-fecal? Away from odor? Non-stinking?

And, if you get to put a "preferred seat" in your profile for an upgrade to first, doesn't that presume that some people would actually want to sit near the toilet?

These are actual choices, but they are under the "special meals" options, not the "seat preference" ones.

Let me fix that for you:

Passenger reclines seat to amount of recline set and allowed by airline when seats are spec'ed and installed.

Are you one of those people who recline during meal services too? Who recline for the longest time possible before landing?

I don't recline during meal service, but have every right to. The space into which my seat reclines is MY space, not yours. If you have a problem, recline your own seat.

Next time your on a domestic 75 in F, please, please choose either seat 7C or 7D and you will see what I am talking about.

I don't know what was worse, only having one meal selection to choose from (they started from the front of the plane) or having a constant vibration in my seat from the toilet flushing.

The FA actually said to me, "how does a million miler, DM like you wind up in row 7 in First class?

unless its coming from my lazyboy, I don't want it.

Its not so much the vibration but the noise and lets not forget the constant slamming of the lav door and the odor. I'm serious guys...Save row 7 for Silvers and Golds!
