And since my husband's company builds the airplanes for a living. I prefer not to sit in them.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

  Albert,

  Just so you know, not all bulkhead seating is created equally.  It depends

  bulkhead pre-guide dog and was practically eating my kneecaps.

  Just wanted to save you a possible unpleasant surprise.

  Julie
