I find the first class seats on smaller air planes (e.g. 737s) kind of funny. When you enter the air plane you see 2 or 3 rows of seats that are in a 2 seats per side per row formation (vs. the 3 seats per side per row on the rest of the plane). Then there’s a little curtain to separate the first class customers from the “regular” customers. The seats aren’t all that much bigger – only the people are bigger. I would almost be embarrassed to sit in first class because you’re put on display for all the “regular” flyers to show that you are better than them. Or is the benefit of first class that you’re right up front and can chit-chat with the pilots and flight attendants? Or in the event of a plane crash, you would hit first?

Curious…
