You know how, every once in a while, you just start noticing a trend? Something you just never saw before and, all of a sudden, you see it all the time?
We’ve all heard the admonishment in pre-flight announcements that, in the issue of air flight safety, the lav in First Class is reserved for First Class passengers. And, with very few exceptions, the passengers back in steerage have followed this edict.
But in the past few weeks, at least on the flights I’ve been on, it’s been a non-stop pilgrimage from the cheap seats to the ‘spensive loo.
Do they think the First Class lav has better hand soap? Toilet Paper? Seat Warmers?
Have they, en mass, realized that it is their duty to even out the shit load on the plane so that it doesn’t become dangerously tail heavy?
Or, has the air travel consumer just decided that they’re not gonna follow the rules any more?
Guess it’s time to start using those imposing “No Access” curtains again.
Well, sort of related: on a flight earlier this month, we cheap seaters observed a young woman bolt for the back... and a few minutes later, a very nice flight attendant came along to advise us all to use the lav in first class due to a *insert disturbing hand gesture here* "problem" in the other restroom. Much appreciated.
