On dom. first class is catered with the same number of meals as seats. There are no extras. If we drop/spill a meal the only backup is the snack basket/snack box from coach and begging for the pax understanding that we are human.

Totally shifting gears to a seating question. I am looking at PHL-ZRH on a 767. Row 12 (exit) shows limited leg room on Seatguru. Can you get up w/out disturbing the aisle person from a row 12 window seat? Thanks

Yes, US flight 710: PHL-ZRH, then ZRH-IST. I just hate "climbing" over sleeping people on a long red-eye, but prefer the window for leaning. My other option is an additional connection (PHL-BRU-MUN-IST) to get an exit row on a 757 for the trans Atlantic portion. Thanks for any help on the 767 row 12

Like you, I prefer the window for leaning on but haven't ridden the 767 since before they redid the interiors, so unfortunately I can't help you on seat selection.

I am in agreement with awaflyboy, standard PAX flying procedures should be; pack something in your carry-on. Snacks, or whatever. Or eat before the flight. I've done it cause it just makes sense.

I would say yes it is possible. Since there is only one person next to you it would be pretty easy to climb out unless your neighboor is one of those people that puts his/her legs up on the bulkhead wall.

Questions.
Hi, I am Mai Nguyen, currently studying in high school. I would like to ask some questions since I am interested in this career and for one of my subjects. I would like to ask about the main responsibilities as a flight attendant, everyday examples of literacy and numeracy used in the workplace, and why it is important for this profession. I would also like to know if you would have any advice you would like to share to high school students who wish to improve their literacy and numeracy in the future.
Thankyou, I would love to hear from you soon!
Mai Nguyen.

Thanks....that does answer my question. I don't mind carefully stepping over someone in the middle of the night on a red-eye to use the lav., but if they are sleeping with their feet on the bulkhead, I don't mind disturbing them, because I think that is kind of rude! Thanks again....

Seat Recliner Versus Laptop
I am curious if you have any stories of an incident between a seat recliner and a laptop user behind him/her. How would a conflict be handled in this instance?

No first aid kits on flights?
This question is specifically with regard to a United flight I was on this morning, but I couldn't find an Ask the FA thread over there and I imagine this is fairly uniform across airlines.
On my flight this morning, I papercut myself pretty badly (yes, I am extremely clumsy - who gets a severe papercut?!). Anyway, it was bleeding fairly continuously and after several napkins, I walked up front and asked the FA for a band-aid. She replied, "No, we don't carry those on board." I was pretty surprised by this - is it really possible that there isn't a first aid kit with at least a few band-aids on board, or did she just not feel like finding it for me?
(To be clear, I did not ask for any assistance or first aid application - just a band aid to apply myself)
