What has P*ssed you off today?

[TheBoy]

opps me

[TheBoy]

The plane is FULL of fat slags. Needing the belt extensions

[TheBoy]

I mean I ain't what you'd call Tunnie-esque skinny, but this is ridiculous

[TheBoy]

I'm guessing this is why they changed our seats at the gate, to accommodate the fat slags

[TheBoy]

DG - what are the rules if your arse doesn't fit between the armrests?

[TheBoy]

Jeez, this plane will never have the power to take off

Never seen so many

[Doctor Gollum]

For us, no fatties in an an exit row. Basically it's illegal to require an extension belt in an exit because it becomes a trip hazard during an evacuation... On the baby bus, the over wings are the official water exit. Notwithstanding that you technically have to get through the hole

Armrests must be down for take off and landing. They potentially fold forwards in an impact resulting in punctured kidneys, livers and ribs when you recoil. Which is nice

You on Jet2 again? 

[Doctor Gollum]

If you're on your usual spot, ask to get off and I'll recover you from LCA tomorrow lunchtime

Aircraft trim perhaps

Yes, Jet2, I thought the class of clientele couldn't get any lower than Orange, but this is a new breed of fat chav.  Honestly, about 10% couldn't feasibly wedge between armrests, and about 75% made me look malnourished.

And duty free time, they were like safari park chimps maxing out their spirit quotas.


No, not usual place, flew out of KGS

Turns out somebody had their arm in a sling, so swapped our seats with theirs.  Seemed to be an awful lot of seat swapping on the flight though, judging by the number of fresh boarding passes they were giving out.

The original boarding pass had the plane as a A321, and the plane we got on was an A321.  Can't imagine Jet2 having different layouts for the same plane, beyond cram as many in as you possibly can, even if their typical customers' fat arses won't physically fit.

Not sure about their fleet, but the A321 CEO is a different config to the A321 NEO, but if it's anything like the Orange A321 Neos, 36 rows of 6, one row of four and a Spaceflex* aft galley with two toilets stuffed into it.

A fantastic piece of packaging that solves a problem that never existed

The A in Airbus model numbers stands for Adequate

[TheBoy]

The plane out was a Neo, the one back was a Neo, but had the older silver/red colour scheme so fair to assume not the same plane.

Unlike the fat biffers next to me, my bladder is not the size of a peanut, so I never went to the back, so no idea on what it was like back there.


Last Sleazy Airbus I went on only had 30 rows, but guessing it might have been a 320 rather than 321.

Also, never noticed on any other airline, but never really looked, there was no row 13 yesterday.

On my most recent flight I was quite impressed with the Airbus A350-1000 more so than the Boeing Dreamliner.

I thought the 350 was a far smoother and quiet aircraft, although the dreamliner maybe had slightly bigger windows.

Last short-haul flights were the A321's though, when your might height the legroom is appalling. The width is never a problem 

Had 1st row on an internal US flight though on a 737, that had decent leg room. But that was First Class. I was also amused how the pilot referred to the aircraft, not as an aircraft, but "The Jet" in a very strong American accent.

"We are just getting THE JET ready and speed down to Boston"

The power of the number 13 amazes me, I wonder why that number is singled out as being unlucky.     No level 13 in buildings, hotels or ships, no room 13 and no row 13. If I was superstitious, it would have been strengthened by the fact that I had a reasonably bad motorbike accident a few years back, when my new motorbike was 13 days old.     The reality was that it had more to do with the speed I was travelling when someone pulled out in front of me than some strange phenomenon.
