Singing hbd at work is ludicrous.

Put the bagels on the counter, send an email, don't forget the knives. That's as much effort as anybody should ever put into celebrating a work bday.

On the topic of brought-in food: if you pointed it out to me once, no fucking need to do it again. Yes, Diane, I know you brought in brownies. But your brownies are fucking gross bc you don't use any flour or eggs and you always somehow work either soy or coconut into whatever you make. Take the fucking hint that I'm passing.

People trying to convince me gluten-free anything is tasty.

[drop2d]

Lots of gluten free stuff is good.

Bacon
Maple syrup

Lost goes on and on... but what more do you need?

Steak, chicken, pork, seafood, dairy, fruit, vegetables, tacos

The list really does go on and on

I like extra gluten.

We went gluten free for a month to see if it would help with my wife's acid reflux.

I thought everything tasted perfectly fine, it just cost a shit ton more and didn't leave me feeling very filled.

Went (mostly) whole food and gluten reduced a few months back. Has definitely helped in the reflux department

My waistline felt better, but my wife ended up having to get that surgery for gerd so her reflux was a lost cause at that point.

God damned fucking shit fuck. AC is out again tonight.


And I'm leaving for Nashville on Friday. I don't need this shit weighing on me, wondering if it's going to go out with my dogs here while we're out of town.

[M. Steng]

Dog woke me up at 4:30 crying hysterically. She usually will only do this if she really, really has to poop. So I took her out, she peed, and then grabbed her toy and started strutting around the yard, mocking me.

I would assume airlines have been scrambling to make sure their employees are trained and informed on their and the FAA's rules.

This new Delta thing is a mess. At first I assumed the airline was right because they were saying these are the federal laws, not our rules.

But the FAA's website says

Did you know that the safest place for your child on an airplane is in a government-approved child safety restraint system (CRS) or device, not on your lap? Your arms aren't capable of holding your child securely, especially during unexpected turbulence.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) strongly urges you to secure your child in a CRS or device for the duration of your flight.

And even Delta's website says

For kids under the age of two, we recommend you purchase a seat on the aircraft and use an approved child safety seat.

So this family purchased a seat, but decided to send that kid on another earlier flight so they could put the 2 year old in his car seat in that now-empty seat.

I don't know if Delta can claim the loophole that the technical owner of the seat, the older kid, is no longer here, so now the family doesn't get to own that seat any longer. But the bigger issue seems to be the airline incorrectly citing the laws.

[justink]

How could you miss the FAA law that says each ticketed passenger has to be flying under their correct identity?

LoVE that American Airlines is reducing leg room!

100 seats available on a train.

101 people want to get on it.

1 person decides they don't want their seat.

Their friend can't then claim the empty seat to put something there. Seems pretty cut and dry.

The parents were planning on holding the child for the flight anyway.

How did we get from the train to the plane?

Analogy? The numbers most probably aren't correct. I can change to plane if you'd prefer. Doesn't matter.

It sounds like the family paid for the now-empty seat. *Assuming that's true*, that would imply that when they put their older kid on an earlier flight, they bought him a separate ticket, not canceled his ticket for the later flight, paid the change fee, etc.

So they still "own" the seat on the later flight that they'll be taking.

And they said the 2yr old rode in his car seat in a plane seat on the way out there, and that's what they wanted to do here. Where did you see they were planning on holding the child for the flight? That's what the airline wanted them to do.

[GSUdawg521]

If a fat guy buys 2 seats so he can be comfortable, can the airline decide he's still just one person, so that 2nd seat should be made available for a standby passenger?

Unfortunately that's not how it works. If a passenger doesn't show up they forfeit that seat, regardless of who purchased it.

If they weren't planning on holding the baby, why'd they send the older child on the earlier flight? They were going to use the empty seat, previously booked for the older child, to put the baby in the car seat.

That was the point I made at the end of my original post. I didn't know if the purchasers of the ticket, the parents, still get to retain rights to the seat.

You can buy two seats for yourself, can't you? Isn't that what fat people do when they fly SW?

I wonder what would happen if a overweight person only buys one seat, but is too over weight to fit in just one seat. When (s)he arrives they tell him/her (s)he needs to purchase another seat on another flight because the current flight is booked. What will happen then? Can the flight bump the person who's seated next to the overweight person, or bump the overweight person and make them take another flight?

[jmc419]

People should be treated like luggage, if you don't fit in/thru the standard seat envelope you have to purchase two.

I don't really know what happens in that situation. My airline has a maximum weight for any single passenger, it's never an issue.

If you're legitimately curious I can ask around at other airlines when I go back in to work (and if I remember). Or there's other people in the industry around here who may know.

I'm probably not going to be able to sit down on a plane anymore if they keep reducing the leg room.
