I have been flying monthly for the last two years... last trip I got the supersized guy who sat in the middle, had to flip up the armrest to fit in the seat and had to ask for a seat belt extension... at least he had the courtesy to suck it in and sit with his and crossed on the flight.
Most interesting person I have met in the two years was a thirteen year old boy who's parents were divorced... one lived in L.A. and one in Portland and this is how they worked the visitation... I had got good and drunk before I got on the airplane and was planing on sleeping the flight away... anyway we ended up talking the two hours, very nice, polite, smart kid... I so wanted to give him my 16 year old stepdaughters phone number who is always whining to my wife how she ruined her life by getting divorced.
Sorry for the ramble...
