"Exactly! :-) Now, all you fat hogs to the BACK OF THE AIRPLANE!!!!

LOL!

That reminds me of a true story. About 10 years ago I was listening to the pilot's conversation on a UA flight when he became very agitated with ground control. We had pushed back from the gate and were tooling around the airport for some time, (O'Hare, those who have been there know what I am saying) then the plane came to a rather quick stop.

The pilot tried to back up using the reverse thrusters and you could feel the nose of the plane lift.

He got on the PA and rather apologetically asked all of us to move forward as he could not back up with the nose gear off the ground and for some reason the seating assignments had put us all near the rear of the plane.

O'Hare ground control had put 2 planes nose to nose without any egress in between and the pilot was Pi$$ed.

Sure they didn't just have this woman in the back?
