Now I wish we could get to work about having a 'crying babes/children section' at the back of the plane with a soundproof curtain!

Personally, I've begun lobbying for minivans with a soundproof barrier just behind the driver/front passenger seats.

Will they ask how much you weigh when making reservations? And when you check-in and they feel that you are overweight, will they fine you because you did not tell them just how heavy you really are?

Here's something else. Isn't it possible that they keep putting more seats/rows on the planes just to get more people on board? There is so little room when you have to cross over people if you have a window seat!

Then there will be the "FLAT RATE" next (I'll leave you to "figure" it out)...OR how about Charging by the pound? Dollar fares...Dollar per pound round trip!

Actually, wasn't Jet Blue started by the guy who started Morris Airlines (he eventually sold Morris to Southwest)?
