Yet we have normally rational posters like Kegmeister.....getting hot under the collar.
Lol. Nothing further from the truth. I'm intrigued by the lack of intellectual rigour exhibited by some in the manner they conduct the discussion but I really couldn't give a fig about the subject at hand as it's highly unlikely to affect me on my aircraft and routes.
In the unlikely event it does then as a reasonable person and understanding the overwhelming majority of CSMs are also reasonable then I'd back our collective ability to manage the issue appropriately. It's only when someone is unreasonable and the issue is no longer about seats but rather failure to adhere to company policy that the discussion will take a very different tone.
No pissing contest, not getting wound up about it, just a statement of fact. Hopefully this will be my last post on the matter as I've wasted enough time as it is on it!
