Do they feel what I see
Friday 1st September 2006
I sit here at Adelaide airport waiting for my return flight to Sydney. My interest is raised as I watch people positioning themselves for a non seat allocation flight.
They start to create a queue for what reason I am not entirely sure. I can only guess that it might be so they get a good seat?
The interesting thing is that this is all happening well before the boarding announcement is made. No big deal.
But when that first boarding call is made things change and change fast. Peoples behaviours. manners and personality change for the worse.The queue concept in some peoples mind are in consequential, they just push in to the line where they feel they should. Jumping the queue, and generally pushing others out of the way.
The result being that the patience of those that have tried to do the right thing is being reduced at a great rate.
I can only sit and ponder can these people that are so focussed on getting on this plane can they see the person they have become in their endevour? Or if they can do they really care?
Or then gain maybe I have it wrong and the only thing that matters is getting that premium seat?
