On a plane, in a 3 seat row, there are 2 pairs of arm rests. The question is, when the row is full (individuals each seated in the aisle, center and window seat), who should end up with both armrests. Believe it or not, I've heard arguments that the 'extra' armrest should go to the person seated in the window seat... I've heard equally fierce arguments that the 'extra' armrest should go to the person seated in the window seat. However, I have never heard anyone defend the poor schulb that ends up seated in the lonesome detestable middleseat.
Let's face it, no one in their right mind, travelling alone, who books in advanace purposely chooses that seat. No, middle seaters are typically, standby or late booking passengers so grateful to be on the plane that they ignore the fact they are sandwiched between two total strangers for an entire plane trip.
However, I personally think, the schulb should really get the double armrest. I know its an unpopular viewpoint. But the schulb really has no seating advantage. I mean the window seater can obviously look out of the window and even lean against it to catch a few zzz's. The aisle seater has that extra legroom moreover, has the quick exit advantage for both bathroom breaks and the deplaning process. The poor middleseated schulb has nothing.... nada.. zlich!
So I submit to you, that next time you are on a plane, allow the middleseated schulb to at least share the armrest with you. Who knows, one day you might miss your flight, and be cast into the world of schulb-dom... **cue to damning music**
cheers!
