Best Foot Forward

Welcome Back......

Well, for starters it wasn't another boring day flying the freindly skies.

This will make you consider who you're sitting next to in an exit row.

What if your life was on the line and your survival depended on the person closest to the only operating window exit. Lets say that it was the only exit excessible for your survival....

First of all, over-wing, exit windows do offer the extra leg room, but think about this.....the extra leg room is a trade-off for your willingness and ableness to help the inflight crew in the event of an emergency.

Anyway, a young lady boarding my flight on Friday, Sept. 19 was afraid of flying. I was flying position 1 and of course I was the first to meet and greet the customers.

She didn't hide the fact that she was afraid of flying as she informed me of her fear. I asked her where she was seated and the rest was history....

I asked her why she felt that it was ok for her to sit in an exit row informing her that she may be called upon in the event of an emergency. She simply replied that after a drink or two she'll feel better.

So, what's wrong with this picture that I'm painting in your head?
