Yeah, that would be USAirways. I'm on my bajillionth trip to Hawaii in the past year, and only Useless Air has the balls to ask me to sit in a middle seat because some dufus didn't bother to plan ahead and reserve seats next to their kid. Lack of planning on your part does not constitute a crooked spine on my part. This is twice now in two trips this has happened. If your reservation system doesn't work, don't ask me to inconvenience myself so that you can look good. And if you are bringing your snot-nosed little brat, BOOK IN ADVANCE!
Elsewhere, I like to play Spot The Newlyweds in the gate area. There's a guy in a backward Braves cap and a woman wearing sweats. Bingo! It's like the brides can't wait to rip off that dress and get into something with an elastic waist band.
Oh, there's no way I'm ever seeing my luggage again. I can feel it.
