It's really interesting that a hypothetical question is asked, and professionals leap in to tell passengers (or "customers" as we are now called by too many airlines) have no right to make choices, or that preferences are irrational, as if that meant anything. On the one hand we are invited to make choices about airlines, and presumably about aircraft too, if the makers' publicity campaigns are anything to go by, but then told we're a bunch of
if we do so. Sometimes I get worried by the contempt for passengers that some pilots feel; not so much that it affects me, but that sort of personality could be a problem on the flight deck.
