But, I think the biggest change that has affected passenger conduct is the aggressive marketing and pricing schemes designed to fill every seat on every plane. The planes are too crowded. I know they need to make a profit, but, I can remember when most flights had empty seats and you could stretch out and be more comfortable. I would rather pay more for more space. First class is an option, but I think the cost is not in line with the value, and it is really not designed to address the overcrowding problem.

You made some great points, when I do fly I almost always fly Southwest because first Check in bag 50lbs. or less is free, plus you’re allowed to have 1 carry on for free, ALWAYS. Retiredguy, I always like your comments they’re always straight & to the point & you never seem like you never get upset. I try to stay away from political comments, they always seem to get me into trouble, LOL.
