Saw this on Slate and thought a few of us might get a kick out of it:

I think most of us here would fall into one of the Flight Ninja categories.

Lawyer
May have started out like a Travel Ninja, but when frustrated, gets litigious. Often starts building a case against the airline, frequently by passing around a petition or handing out business card so that fellow disgruntled passengers can contact her when they get home and decide they want to press charges.

All lawyers are female now? A little bias there?

I’m a few of them, from the Lost Puppy, to Eeyore, Making the Best of It, and of course, The Drinker I might also be Q

I thought most here would be:

Status-Lounge Guy
Appears only moments before the delayed flight takes off. Has been in the frequent-fliers' club lounge until he learned of the flight delay, then booked himself into some swank hotel rather than the cut-rate one the airline is providing.

Just to add hilarity, the forum software seems to have censored the author's name as being 'inappropriate'.

I'm going to come out as an "Inside Flight Ninja" a times and an "Outside Flight Ninja" at others.

Oh, the video of the Hysterical passenger at HKG - priceless!
