Recline Angst ...

Ha! My last domestic flight I was sitting there thinking, recline or don't recline... what if JohnK is sitting behind me!

They got walk of shame wrong. That is when you've either self upgraded and been caught or your upgrade has been revoked and you're sent back to coach.

I used the term coach because the walk of shame in this instance is generally a US issue.

Yes, it can have several meanings but not so much that one on Oz(perhaps it does not wash in our pseudo egalitarian society).

WAS can be a de-selfupgraded or the PAX who by boarding late has caused a delayed departure (this is not the same as boarding last and picking the best remaining seat ).

One of the myriad benefits of being an active member on AFF is that I have met JohnK several times and in different countries so I know when not to recline.

 

[Warks]

JohnK would probably always be in front of any of us!

I must be out of the loop. No idea about at least 50% of these.
