twenty-something airlines

Our basic theory is that airlines should operate less like "window or aisle" and more like a dating service. Fill out some kind of description of your conversational preferences before the flight and maybe you'll avoid the twerpy all-elbows 13-year-old-going-on-ten in favor of someone a little more interesting. It would be a good excuse to have decent food on airplanes again too. Another element of the theory concerns the creation of a new class of service below "economy," tentatively called "crying baby class" and isolated via soundproof walls.

I bet there are a whole lot more un-cute frequent-flying men who want to sit next to you... (eep)

I'd fly crying baby class if it were cheap.

eep, indeed.

well, that's true. i'd sit next to a crying baby over a cute boy if i thought it would save me a hundred bucks.

we couldn't have crying baby class be cheaper--then it would just be another economy class

so you can still sit next to your cute boy.

Fortunately the matches will have to be mutually compatible.

You could request "cute boy or awesome girl," and then you and sara might end up together.
