How can I be the "sort of person you'd want to sit next to on a long plane flight" i.e. - Captivate, command respect, and offer value?
-
I heard a great quote the other day: "Companies have switched to hiring the sort of person you'd want to sit next to on a 9-hour plane ride." Basically, it's an asset to: Captivate someone Command someone's respect Offer value to someone What are tangible steps we can take to become that person?

Answer:
⢠Know when you're starting to smell - change that t-shirt and being some roll-on. ⢠Know when to shut-up...I usually don't mind a conversation but if I've got my face buried in a book or if I'm watching a movie, that's generally a good sign. ⢠Don't roll your eyes or otherwise get peeved if you need to move once every few hours so I can go to the toilet and stretch my legs...maybe you should be drinking more water? ⢠Don't give the crew attitude or otherwise be a difficult customer - there are reasons why they ask you to do certain things. ⢠Don't be greedy with the over-head compartments...where the hell am I supposed to store my bag?

If you are asleep and not conspicuous in the noise and smell departments, I can say I have enjoyed my flight and your company greatly.

I don't want to hear you breathing. Forget captivating and demanding respect, just breath normally and not like a frickin troll that lives under a bridge.
