#1 Why I avoid flying at any other inconvenience posed by alternate travel means. Doesn't help that the airlines have shrunk seats over the years to stuff more people into steerage. Institutional capture has prevented the FAA from exercising their powers in allowing the creation of a dangerous safety situation in case of emergency evacuation.

#2 My weekly travel ended years ago but even then the great airline shrinkage was well underway, luckily I'm fairly large with sharp elbows so I survived my sojourns in the middle seat. When you fly a lot you don't get stuck in the middle often, thank goodness.
