Seems I forgot to put together a post for this week so if this one seems thrown together then forgive me.<\/p>\n
In my profession flying from job site to job site was a weekly habit. It was so \u2018habitual\u2019 that a lot of the experiences I had during flying I didn\u2019t consider them anything to write home about. Yet, like all other road warriors I do have a few situations that stand out.<\/p>\n
Years ago I bored a flight heading from Chicago to Indianapolis. In those days every flight was always overbooked. Being a consultant, I was bound by my company\u2019s code of conduct which meant I had to fly in coach. Coach back then was always cramped compared to the seat of aircraft today. In present time the seats have been made a little wider and spaced just \u00a0little further apart.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m crammed in the middle seat between to large men when I seen this guy heading down the aisle. He\u2019s hunched over as he made his way to an open seat a few rows in front of me.<\/p>\n
This man was 7 foot 7 inch NBA player Manute Bol. It was a sight to see the tallest man in the NBA try to sit in a coach seat where my 6 foot frame had issues. His knees came up past the tray table, his head nearly touched the over head compartments.<\/p>\n
Seems that he got bumped from first class and now had to sit with us. He didn\u2019t argue or complain or make a scene, he just took his seat.<\/p>\n
However, a few minutes later a attendant came back and took him to an open spot in First Class. I didn\u2019t see him again until baggage claim. In the sea of hundreds of people waiting for baggage it\u2019s pretty\u00a0 easy to spot a 7 foot 7 inch person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
