It was Southwest, which means no assigned seats. You get what you get.
Yep, that's why check-in is so important with Southwest. You want to be in boarding group "A"

I've always thought that airlines should board the persons in the rear first then fill toward the front. Much more efficient, no more fat ladies in first class holding up everybody while she tries to get all her luggage stowed.
Then those in the front get off first, which is how it usually happens naturally.
My first flight was in a piper cub, but my first airline flight was in a DC-9. I remember being pinned to my seat as the mighty jet engines flung us down the runway - 42 years ago.

Out of curiosity do you still smoke? (big fatties don't count)
Brewing Japanese price war could spell trouble for AT&T, Verizon | Light Reading
Docomo in Japan is now selling 5G for around half of what its fellow incumbents charge. If Dish enters the 5G market in the US, AT&T and Verizon might be forced into a similar position.

That's the beauty of free markets. Just look what happened when T-Mobile started their "uncarrier" thing in the US.
Two engine airliners are enormously overpowered because... They have to be able to take off, fully loaded, even if one engine fails at a critical moment.
I still smoke a cigar occasionally. Got me a 4K TV and a 4KJ in my garage ready for action. Also a little electric heater and fridge stocked with beer.
I always thought that was an appealing, well-engineered airliner. Then an engine fell off.
Was that because they tried to save money by using chimpanzee glue?
Don't get me started on that "alien tape". Yes, it is remarkable. But the ads show them sticking narrow shelves on the wall and it stays. I tried doing that with two small shelves, and they both started drooping. So, this tape (engineered material based on gecko's foot hairs) is supposed to come off if you start from one end and go to the other. When I tried to do that, they ripped the paint off along with several layers of the drywall! So much for doing no wall damage.
Nope. That was the DC-10.I always thought that was an appealing, well-engineered airliner. Then an engine fell off.
Yes. I buy bulk "smooth pipe tobacco" from the Internet, cartons of "tubes" (empty paper/filter combos) and use a RYO (Roll Your Own) machine (Powermatic III) to inject the tobacco into the tubes. My cost is $8 per carton.
My wife recently got me to stop smoking and start vaping. It’s dumb as hell but it was mostly effective. Unfortunately, because so many people smoke in my life and I have a high stress job.... I need a fix every so often. Smoked one today....
My wife, who has smoked Kools for 50 years has a dilemma coming. Menthol cigarettes can not be sold in California beginning January1! Maybe I can convince her to finally quit!
Do
Does that include non menthols that can be turned into menthols, such as Kamel Crush?My wife, who has smoked Kools for 50 years has a dilemma coming. Menthol cigarettes can not be sold in California beginning January1! Maybe I can convince her to finally quit!
I think you are referring to e-cigs and I am referring to the real cigarettes. I have no idea about the e versions and I don’t think my wife is interested in vaping.
No, the actual cigarettes. Kamel Crush are regular flavor, but while smoking, if you want to turn it into a menthol, you just crush the thing built into the filter. It’s what my wife smokes. I am the one that started vaping. It’s really stupid and I feel like I am smoking a pineapple half the time, but it helps with not wanting cigarettes all the time. It’s not the same thing though. It’s got a slow release for the nicotine effect whereas a cigarette was pretty immediate.
Ah, I see. I think it will be banned here because it still has the menthol available in the cigarette.
