I can’t imagine what that does to a person’s psyche,3rd seat on a plane. I flew to Phoenix in 04 and a woman came up from the back of the plane. She was over weight but that’s not the point. She was told that there were too many over weight people in the back and they had to re-distribute the weight?!! I felt so bad for her.
I felt fortunate that I met her because I was afraid of flying, she was a seasoned flier and took my mind off of my fears. I was so glad I was able to sit next to her and get to know her.
