Taking gaminess and scamminess and attention-getting to new highs (or, lows), the woman, who calls herself "Ventiko," and says she's a "performance artist" (whatever that is, these days) claimed that she needed the peacock for "emotional support," huh? What she really needs is psychotherapy and reality-training: a peacock (messy; really, really noisy)can no more give "emotional support" to anything or anybody (except maybe other peacocks)than a 172 can give anyone a 1st-class travel experience across the Atlantic. It's a damn bird! Why do you think there's a derogatory connotation to the word(s), "bird-brain?" In this case, it's clearly a matter of another usually-critical saying or adage: "Birds of a feather . . ." F*****g airhead!

You don't belong here: (1) this is a place for aviators, aviation enthusiasts, and industry personnel, all of whom share a common interest. Obviously, you're not one. (2) This is a place where people with aviation-specific knowledge exchange ideas and at times offer (helpful) suggestions or observations. You are just so, so not one of them. (3)This is not a place for mean-spirited people with political agendas to inject their biases and neuroses into an otherwise sane and moderate conversation. Those people belong at pig troughs or at gang-banging hangouts. Go (back) to where you belong.

Only? Not something closer to terminal?

Dork.

Boeing can do all of the modifications,retros, and re-dos it wants (and, good for them, I suppose), but it's not going to keep Big Air (and its little-brother- and -cousin-wannabes)from gouging and sucking dry the people who, for whatever the reason, have to fly with/on them, whether frequently (for business) or at will, for fun/pleasure. A hundred bucks to put a bag in a bin? Screw 'em. Boycott 'em. Form pools and buy (private) airplanes, if you can.

There should be separate seating someplace on commercial aircraft for neurotics, idiots, and garden-variety dorks. They're easy enough to spot; flight attendants these days are cop wannabes anyway, with more (perceived) power than they really have and certainoly more than they should have: let them just herd creeps like this (of both genders)to the rear of the bus, ad drop a curtain.
