+1 lol... :D

The Fly Swatter cabin dividers are just another indication that the bean counters are running the airline.

I personally prefer VX's cabin dividers. I also prefer the use of real curtains that foreign airlines use, especially on long haul flights as they keep the galley lights and some of the noise out of the F and/or J cabins.

Why can't people who get an upgrade to F answer the question? Why is it only for F payers?

The peons get to see the orgies on their way to the back of the plane. Here's a video:

Look how short your username is. Anyone who cares about anything will pay for F and have a big fancy username to match.

I hope one day to also have 36 letters in my username. Maybe I'll request a change to goooooooooooooooooooooooooooobluetwo.

But seriously, what are these fly swatter cabin dividers? Do they have an automatic setting to swat back coach passengers who try to cross the demarcation line between F and Y?

All of the airlines have devalued their First Class product by giving it away for free. I can understand why the person who perhaps doesn't fly a million miles a year but still pays a bundle to fly first class might want the opinions of others who had actually paid cash money for the seats.

All whiskey tastes good when it's free. When asking for an opinion about a brand, I might want the views of those who had actually been willing to pay out of pocket for it over those who enjoyed some free drinks at a cocktail party.

I don't have status and always fly coach unless using FF miles. Even then, the premium cabins have gotten so expensive in terms of points that I'm not sure I'll pony up the points in the future. In the olden days I could fly Delta business class to Europe and coach home for about 77,500 points, but those days are long gone!

I don't know the OP's motivation for phrasing his question as he did, but this is my best guess. As a peon who has sometimes wiggled his way into the front cabin, I understand this reasoning.

Obviously there is something going on in the first class bathroom experience that I don't know about, because it is just a bathroom to me - no reason to be exclusive about it.

By the way, been a little while since I was on DL - what are these new fly swatter cabin dividers? Can someone post a pic?

There is sometimes a wait to use the coach bathrooms, whereas if the coach crowd is kept out of first class there will rarely be a wait. On the other hand, if just a few coach passengers are allowed to use the first class bathroom it will mean long waits for people who paid a high premium for the exclusive use of the first class facilities.

The coach passenger who uses the first class bathroom is no different from the large passenger who flips up the arm rest and claims half your seat. They are taking something they aren't entitled to and the airlines have a duty to police this.

I'd also like to know what a "flyswatter" door looks like. Maybe I'll see when I fly in about 10 days.

Same here. Here is a flight from Tuesday.

Next time OP flies, I'll pay someone on the plane $100 that's in the Y cabin to go stink up the F lav.

One could argue that there should be more of a hard divider between the dirty, unwashed masses crammed into general steerage in the back to keep them from interfering with my pre-flight drink while seated in F.

;)

Based on experience, I disagree. The massed horde merely sacrifices one member who lies across the wire, and the others use that one as a bridge.

I recommend Claymores and heavy machine guns.

The hard divider suck for the peons in the bulkhead. The soft dividers allow ample leg room, under seat baggage storage (freeing up overhead storage), these dividers weigh less so a long term fuel savings. If those in the front of the bus think the hard dividers really do something you are sadly mistaken. Regardless if you are in front you are still on a bus with 200+ other people.

Belt fed M-60's are great but those babies tend to heat up. Shoot in three second bursts.

;)

That's why I specified heavy machine guns. The Pig (if you know the reference, you've been there) is a medium MG. Give me the M2 Browning any day. In the current application forget tracer or AP rounds.
