What a producer asks for, in one place.
Quotable, this month
Three rules, ready to lift.
- “The middle seat gets both armrests. The aisle can lean into the aisle and the window can lean into the wall; the middle has nowhere to go.”
- “The boarding line works when everyone waits their turn.”
- “Nobody has ever left an aircraft faster by standing up first.”
