Worse than feet on bulkheads

[Seat0B]

Mr 1D stood up and gave Ms 2D a loud and unpleasant lecture about manners.

He then sat back down to demonstrate his manners.

Who are these over entitled people???
I am sounding like a grumpy old woman, but honestly, where have community standards gone?

Mr 1D from my flight a couple of weeks ago.

Ms 2D was travelling with an infant. I assume the child bumped or kicked the seat in front because Mr 1D stood up and gave Ms 2D a loud and unpleasant lecture about manners.

He then sat back down to demonstrate his manners.

This is also probably a sign that seat pitch in J on these aircraft is on the stingy side.

I think we expect a bit of "we know *decorum*" while in the "special" zone of J.
But of course, these days, everyone with the points, or the nous will be in J.
Years ago, its only people who paid for it that were in J.
You acted a certain way, a special nod between those in that "glorified" pointy end, that there are certain things that are "common sense(sical) not allowed".
Same as the lounge, remember when they used to have computers in the middle of the ADL QP/J lounge, when you didn't have kids running around like their own playground", but, well, nowadays, anything goes.
Painting toenails or fingernails on a plane, putting feet through the J seat gap, feet on seats, feet on bulkhead...
Sad lot of events, that a lot of no no things are no considered as "normal"/run of the mill.

^ I don’t accept that just because someone’s company paid for a J ticket means they’re any better behaved than the average Y punter heading to Bali.

To be honest with you, this reads like generational we did it better/back in my day ranting.

You can't have me convinced people behaved better on board 30 years of so ago. The only difference, if any, is that more people are flying now.

Nobody’s any different than people were 30 years ago.

You could convince me that people were better behaved 50+ years ago, back when an international economy airfare was 2/3 your yearly wage …

The democratization of air travel..what you get on the outside you get on the inside… but in a smaller cramped space with nowhere to go

I hate to say it but certain people lack class whether they fly, use a bus, a train, restaurant, club etc. People can criticise me for criticising but I'm quoting facts not personal opinion.

30 years ago these people were not leaving their suburb let alone flying overseas.

30 years ago they were definitely going to Bali in droves …

Classy (or should I say 1st classy)

Seems like the current foot rest is in the wrong position. Qantas need to put the foot rest up there

 

[Jmcilroy]

Yet another good reason not to sit in 2F on the QF A380!

He may have had a cramp?

Flying is strenuous (usually on the arms though).

I think he did have a cramp, but it went away when he put his legs back down.

I thought the foot rest was up there. Sometimes they even use it as a champagne and caviar tartlet holder.

Higher up in fact
