This is a new class for those who are too good to sit with the DWKWIA crowd. It's for the new DYKWTFIA crowd, as mentioned above!!

thanks for helping me laugh this morning.
somehow, i guess i have always falsely believed that people who are saavy enough to find themselves up front can also figure out how to use a belt. or, better yet, purchase clothing in the correct size.
particularly women.although most of the time i see men flying up front, i cringe when a woman is wearing ill-fitting garb. we should KNOW BETTER ladies!

What is the proper protocol of getting out/ up the ramp when the person in front you is weaving or rather large? Years ago I had to crawl up the ramp coming off of a CRJ and had to go rather bad ,since we circled & taxied forever. I debated do I throw the elbow, hop up and down ( my kids say it helps) ,walk real slow. But by the time I figured it out I saw the restroom.

The plane will soon be divided into 4 sections. Up front will be the DYK...IA group. Next will be the DYKWIA crowd, followed by NCWYA (Nobody cares who you are) and finally, stuck in the back is the WDC...YA section (We don't care who the #$*! you are... this section is reserved for silver medallions ).

BUT, in this case, it was two GA's whom 1A decided to CRASH through in an effort to make a connection.. A simple "Excuse Me" may have been an order, but that is not the road the guy took.. It was more of a push/shove his way through technique....
UH, definately needed waxing, amongst other things.....
