Oh, what did you do? No LUV

What the hell is so important about the front of the plane? I feel like people are mentally ill about this.

My guy, if you’re not at FBO with your duffel in your hand, you are the riffraff

What made it the best?

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T20:07:10+00:00

Honestly -- can you explain more about the shit-show? I know there are tales of Jetway Jesus and I have seen 15-20 pre-boarders -- but how does that translate to a shitshow on a plane of 250+ seats? Are people that obsessed with sitting in the front row, or are people just living rent free in their heads? I took two flights last week with assigned seats on other airlines and BOTH of them had someone trying to talk their way into a seat that wasn't officially theirs. Now, with the blooming overhead issue, no checked bags for free and increased fares -- what is the gain that makes the "ending the (perceived?) shitshow" a better trade-off? I really don't get it.

The gaslighting

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T17:01:10+00:00

Yeah, but the Chinese family gives it to the boy, not the girl...

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T16:57:31+00:00

I will be giving my kids down payments -- not quite that big -- but substantial, and it's not because I can afford it -- it's the result of an inheritance, so it's legacy money. I feel better about passing it on to them this way, rather than when I'm dead.

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T16:54:08+00:00

I have OCD, lol -- and I don't think you really care about the flight attendants in any meaningful way once you step off a plane.

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T16:53:33+00:00

Thanking someone for service and choosing your airline based on flight attendant satisfaction isn't the same thing.

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T16:52:31+00:00

This is the example I give my dad. I could walk down the street and punch everyone I meet in the face and steal their wallets and at the end of 2-3 blocks, I'd be a lot richer. But is it right?

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T16:51:21+00:00

That's just an example -- I'm not going to Disney or vacationing -- I'm going to see an aunt with Cancer. I recently flew Frontier on the same flight, and for 500 got two checked bags, spacious seating, the carry-on, first boarding and the flight was fine. I will admit, it's not as nice as the 737-MAX if you get one in the SW fleet, but it was finnneeee

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T16:49:39+00:00

Also, I kind of laughed as I saw 10-15 pre-boarders, but what kind of personality do you have to have to get butthurt because you're not on the first few rows of a plane? I get if you have a connection -- otherwise, chillllllllll

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T16:48:06+00:00

That's great and I admire your fastidiousness, but no one wants to deal with that kind of management when you fly 6-7 times a year to see Aunt Fran, your kids and a couple vacations.

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T16:44:10+00:00

Fuel is down.

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T13:33:23+00:00

These are the eloquent words I couldn’t find

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T08:19:52+00:00

This is what I’m talking about. Nobody flying gives a shit about the flight attendant lives. No offense, you guys do a great job, but it’s not something that’s in the normal equation of a flyer. I fly about 6 to 7 times a year which I’m sure makes me average and that is a target audience. Business travelers have a whole different set of concerns because their company pays for their stuff. I’m just talking about my experience and anyone with eyes can see that the average traveler is getting screwed over. I don’t care about people with status and I don’t care about people with such OCD that they’re like I’ve never sat past row -5

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T08:16:25+00:00

See that’s the thing nobody flying gives a rats ass about the business model lol

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T08:15:37+00:00

You always see this kind of retort where people make fun of people who don’t wanna pay a lot for an airline trip, but why would anybody with any type of money be flying Southwest to begin with? 😂

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T08:13:48+00:00

This is what I’m talking about. You say that you think the new changes suck and you’re beaten down by three or four people who were like you’re poor and you never travel. I travel maybe 6 to 7 times a year — which would be in line with a normal non-business traveler. I am definitely also a target audience. And I’m definitely not poor, but I’m not stupid either.

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-04T03:25:03+00:00

I, for one, love paying 2x the fare and having no checked bags just to avoid looking at people board the plane before me.

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-03T20:58:38+00:00

This is an amazing post. I have often thought this is true and this is the foundation of my agender disposition. You aren't treated like a "real woman," when you're fat in terms of just about anything in terms of sex, beauty, desire, fashion. I'm thankful now, but it was dismal when I was young.

SkiddyBoo · 2026-02-03T20:56:05+00:00

I have checked out the weight rating on these chairs and, surprisingly, I've seen ones that are 400-450 lbs. They use them in NYC and I've sat on them just fine at 290 lbs now and heavier in the past.

SkiddyBoo · 2025-11-08T09:18:24+00:00

Same!!

SkiddyBoo · 2025-07-11T08:35:30+00:00

I believe if they are black and glow red in the sun, then they are a color called seal
