    RE: "not without my laptop" & "In case of an emergency"

    RE: JIM3CH, not without my laptop - enjoy your valued photos, files, etc... in the last 30 seconds before you immolate...

    RE: ~~~~, In case of an emergency - When seated in an exit row, you probably won't be willing to assist others in the event of an emergency - but you'd still tell the cabin crew that you would.

    Aren't you the same asshat that attaches your 'Knee Defender" to the seat in front of you, reclines your seat all the way back, and then gets up and pushes hard against my facing seatback just as the stewardess has placed my coffee on my tray table?

    I bet you can't wait until they allow cellphones to be used in-flight.
