Airline seating advice
Rudy:
I just heard your advice about how to get more leg room on airlines.
Rudy, I wish you wouldn't suggest exit rows as a strategy for getting
extra leg room. I admit that you cited the requirements for exit row
seating (ability to remove the doors, no children, etc.) I've been on
too many planes where people in the exit rows would clearly be unable
to do the job of handling the door if called upon to do so.
I ask for an exit row because of safety concerns. I'm physically fit
and mechanically inclined. I'm a pilot and not easily flustered. I
know that I can manhandle a door. I review the safety procedure card
on every flight. I think we'd all be lots better off in the event of
an emergency if I'm in that exit row. If I can't be in an exit row I
want somebody who is fit and takes the job seriously, not just
someone who wants a few extra inches.
Thanks.
John
