They should have a section reserved for people who want to talk on their phones during the flight without disturbing other passengers. They can ride with their checked bags on the lower deck.

I do annual evaluations of CDL drivers and see both ends of the spectrum. One guy in his mid-70s has no business at all operating anything bigger than a Hoveround while another guy got his CDL for the first time at age 74.

This is just kind of a reminder that the airline industry is probably the most volatile major industry in the world. The astronomical overhead and potential for liability along with the high degree of reliance on external variables (oil prices, terrorism scares, arbitrary government regulations, etc.) make it very difficult to make good long-term decisions. If the galley on an oil tanker runs out of frozen hash browns, somewhere in the world five airlines go bankrupt a week later. Around the time the 757 got canceled I don't think anyone really foresaw the potential it had for the long oddball routes that it serves now. In a sense I think the 788 is the spiritual successor because of some of the long oddball routes of its own that it opened up.

The good news is you're on a brand new A320neo. The bad news is you have to pay an extra $85 to find out where you're going.
