Flight 195

Ok, now I want everyone to listen, especially all of you who fly commerical airlines.

When you purchase a ticket on your favorite carrier, You are renting/leasing the seat you are assigned and the area under the seat directly in front of your seat.

With that in mind...

DON'T PUT YOUR CARRY-ON (which should have been checked in the first place) BAG WHERE MY FEET GO DURING A 3 HOUR FLIGHT!!!!

That is MY rented space and I check my over sized bags so that I can stretch out during that 3 hour flight! I don't come on board with my bags and put then under the seat in front of you! So, please be courteous to me and check your bag next time.

Also, for all you smokers.....

DO NOT smoke on commercial airlines! It is a Federal Offense to do so. A gentleman (sic) on the flight from Seattle to Anchorage got at least 1 nights free lodging at the Anchorage Police Station. Yep the flight crews will and do radio ahead to the local authorities (COPS) to inform them that you were smoking in the lavatory. They don't give the no smoking warning during the preflight passenger briefing just to hear themselves talk! They are serious about that seat belt, no smoking, life vest, oxygen mask, stuff. So pay attention dammit. That info could at least save your life, or keep you out of jail.

So everyone, get a clue...

1. Check you luggage if over 19 inches long and more than 9 inches thick, IT WON'T FIT IN THE OVERHEAD.

2. Put your un-checked stuff under the seat in front of YOU, not me.

3. Don't smoke on the airplane.

Please forward this info to all your smoking and otherwise uncaring friends.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
