#2 My son-in-law, who has more American Airlines miles than ... anybody, said yesterday AA is considering removing some seats on their planes to make travel 'safer'. [giggle]

I ain't holdin' my breath.

#4 coach seats = steerage

Steerage is the lower deck of a ship, where the cargo is stored above the closed hold. In the late 19th and early 20th century, steamship steerage decks were used to provide the lowest cost and lowest class of travel, often for European and Chinese immigrants to North America. With limited privacy and security, inadequate sanitary conditions, and poor food, steerage was often decried as inhumane, and was eventually replaced on ocean liners with third-class cabins.
