QF 738's - The Curtain Is Back!

[bossreggie]

Short enough to use the front toilet while standing and issues with not being first off the plane.

sounds like short man's disease to me

That's me!! 6'3". Short by some peoples standards I guess. 737's are not particularly ideal for peeing standing up...... However.... I won't be sitting down.

Always glad to be first off the plane every time.

Don't have too many hang ups.

Downside is that by closing the curtains some of us will miss out on visits by our lower associates or tourists asking "I'm sure I know who you are, but I can't place your name".

Here, here on noisy kids (and 'orrible adults).

You know... you write a couple of lousy books and suddenly ppl want to ask your whole life story?

I never did understand all that.

Some of us are not old enough to have even heard of it

However I am still going for "Tomorrows Hero".

I just signed a book publishing deal - sounds like I had better stay behind the lens to remain anonymous then.

I only remembered as I heard it on the radio today.

I think it’s a double ploy from Qantas to sell more J class seats!!!

If you sit in Y you feel the urge to go beyond that curtain (if closed or not) passing the J pax on the way to the toilet and while waiting in the Q it gets you thinking "perhaps next time I will book J", this in turn makes the J pax go to the back (because the Q is too long) passing the Y pax and makes them think "I’ll never book Y"....................a double whammy for Qantas!!!!!!

Kind regards, Traveller F

Nah, what the world really needs is more geniuses with humility - there are so few of us left

No curtain on a 737-400.

Anyway sitting in 4D last night SYD-BNE and as the crew were collecting the trays this lady from a few rows back walks through business class to use the toilet at the front. She looked confused as she did not know where the toilet was located. The CSM pointed to the toilet and lady went inside and closed door behind her. A couple of minutes later she walked out of the toilet and left the door open. :shock: The CSM had to stop what he was doing to close the door.

I wonder what some of the people on AFF who travel business class would have thought of that episode!

Someone was born in a tent

I dont think its a big deal really, compared to the clowns that get up just before the service and go to the forward loo then get unhappy when the cart blocks their return, almost every flight I see it.

Well... As for me.... I would have been very annoyed...... I'm surprised the daft woman wasn't trailing a roll of toilet paper!

Of course, the visit to the forward lavs is an age old problem; including how to achieve the mission once there.

serfty,

That could almost be included in a "how to" manual for flying. A very detailed and well thought out response to a common problem.

Dream on :!: :shock:

No dream. Happened again, even with Harry Connick Jnr riding in Row 1. Must be the sheer charisma!

 

[Groundfeeder]

Had to unfortunately witness in Dom J a few years back a very sick woman who was up-chucking in the forward loo, but FORGOT TO LOCK THE DOOR.
I still remember the shocked look on her face when she finished cleaning up and spotted everyone plunging hands into the seatbacks for their personal upchucking bags!!

I am serious about never flying economy though.... Not going to happen.

Really? And your still only QF SG?
I would have thought that you'd be a QF WP by now?
