We had a Posh bogan on our last flight which happened to be in business. (Only time I get to travel in business is when I have enough points). An afternoon flight Sydney - Adelaide, so 90 mins tops. Of course the seat flew back onto my mother's lap immediately the sign went off and stayed that way throughout the flight. Slept through the snack service then woke up and wanted his meal. Then complained about the quality and surely there was something else he could have. I do feel sorry for attendants who have to pander to such jerks. Then the two announcements - preparing to land, turn off devices, put up seats etc. Totally ignored both of them and then the attendants were all buckled up. His seat was still fully reclined into my mother. I leant forward, at most five minutes to landing and it was bumpy over the Adelaide hills, and asked him to put his seat up. He turned around and said "Please would be nice". To which I replied "So would be obeying the Captains orders". Then, on landing, in his window seat, he jumped up and pushed across the person sitting in the aisle and had his locker opened before the seat belt sign had gone off (although we were just about to engage the ramp). Next thing, he had pushed his way to be the first off (past rows one and two).
It worries me that the younger generation have such a view of their world that they can toss aside anyone else. And if they have some money, well, they seem to think they have the right.
