I did see Anderson board one of my flights once and head back to coach. Not sure if that was typical or not.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if all airline senior execs were required to sit in a middle seat in the last row and/or the row closest to the lav door?

Domestically, yes, he did. Usually in a good coach seat though, like an exit row.

I think they should be given random seats, so their incentive is to improve all seats.

I would be fine with a window or an aisle seat in the last row, but only if it was on a CRJ200 I would hate for Mr Bastian to miss out on that 'ambiance' as he penning his latest diatribe on the ME3...

last Friday i sat next to Marcolm Nance on ATL-AUS. Friendly guy. We chatted a bit about his new book, President etc.

On my rerun AUS-JFK Sunday evening Katy Tur of NBC was #1 on upgrade list and received the only BFUG. i guess flying around the country covering Trump does have its (small) benefits.
I spoke to her briefly as I was heading back to C+. She was very nice and thanked me for my kind words a about her new book.

Well, her book is called "Unbelievable: My Front-row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History" so she had to have the front row seat...

SNA - SLC "Princess Elsa" - Disney Character from Frozen.
She was not in costume, so maybe she's only off-duty celebrity, and doesn't count? Even without make-up & costume she looked like the ice-queen.

Great kid, polite and she didn't freeze a thing. ☺️

Sinbad was in 2C today on my DTW-LAX flight this morning. He was in town for a show at the MQM Grand.

MQM Grand? Does each night you stay earn you 1,000 MQMs?

Boarded a flight and witnessed someone being escorted up from the tarmac... presumably by a Porsche driver.

Seated in the row in front of me in FC.

Multiple fist bumps from coach PAX as they board... "really enjoy your work..."

Mystery person has stringy, greasy hair and baseball cap.

Ask FA when deplaning... she tells me that its someone from The Walking Dead... which I have never watched.

I can understand the need for the stringy hair, but can't the make-up folks apply the grease in the make-up chair?

This afternoon 1:00 shuttle flight BOS- LGA, Dr. J, in row 3, aisle. He ordered a double Bailey's. Took a picture with the flight attendant.
