The flat label seems so simple – be spatially aware, do not disturb other passengers and herring Aviation crew instructions.
But Campaigns AND repression Efforts to suppress destructive behavior suggest that it persists.
At first glance, a new book – “How to avoid strangers in aircraft: a survival guide for a frequent business traveler” – seems to be another attempt to limit annoying leaflets. However, the author Brandon Blewett, a frequent business traveler, said that there is a lot to learn from these passengers.
Blewett, head of corporate development for a company from Virginia, said that he wrote a book after seeing the similarities between difficulties during a business trip and professional life.
He said he started with a list of annoying travel habits, which quickly became too long.
“I realized that I can't write about 25 habits,” said Blewett. In addition, he did not want the book to be “awarding things about the annoying things we see when we are on planes or airports.”
So he brought him to six – each with thoughts on how travelers can use these situations to proceed in their career.
1. “Lice”
“Lice” are passengers who are swarming on board ahead of time, ignoring the on -board zones and blocking the gates, he wrote.
They also have these people, he said.
“People block our paths on board, even when our turn comes,” he wrote. “At other times, people exceed us and land places on flights were heading towards destination, which we think was ours.”
Look for ways around these people, said Blewett. His recommendation? Pivot.
Blewett said he learned it at the beginning of his career. After graduating from the Law School during a great recession, he started working as a car channel – far from his purpose to become a sports agent, he wrote.
“Given the gloomy prospect of working after Juris, I moved to the annual MBA program,” he invited. “The school also boasted solid relationships with companies where I was looking for tax roles.”
He said that he later gained a role in a tax company.
“What seems to be a blind alley can simply be a turn waiting for the event,” he said.
2. “Crew destroying backpack”
The aircraft label dictates that leaflets carry backpacks Instead of their back, to prevent inadvertently hitting others, the situation of Blewett calls “Airbus attack”.
But he said that business travelers should prepare for “impacts” – whether in a plane or in their competitions – and they can use them to become more resistant.
Blewett told CNBC that he hopes that his book encourages people to “look around to see what you can learn” from annoying passengers.

In this career he mentions several strokes, from earning less than many of his legal peers to the transition to the promotion.
“Three heavy strokes took me to introduce me to the door in KPMG, in offers and practice in which I could get useful skills in my long-term career,” he said.
3. Bully “Conference Call”
These passengers are in “Boeing Board meetings”, conducting conference calls at the level of a high section, often refusing to end the connections and capture their devices, said Blewett. These are the same people who have the most difficult time to take weather delays.
The hard people are everywhere, Blewett wrote in the book, whether in your office or during the flight.
The best way to deal with them, he said, is “joke, sand and humility.”
Mentions The infamous Dolly Parton interview with Barbara Waltersin which Walters asked if he was Hillbilly.
“She let her work and joke would speak for herself. Humor? Check. Confusion? All day. And when none of this worked, she came across her teeth and continued ahead, “he said.
4. “General Tetris Flunkee”
These passengers often take part in what Blewett calls “containers storm” – ignoring the restrictions of space in overhead ranges and pressing in bags that do not fit. Often, they don't even try to close the door, instead choosing to sit down and pass the weight of the air crew to find out.
This can lead to “salmoning” that occurs when the flight attendant moves abundant bags for sitting a person, forcing the passenger to flow the leaflet departures at the end of the flight.
This behavior is often due to passengers who “run to empty, acting with pure exhaustion,” wrote Blewett.
Specialists also engage in a T -shirt when they force career goals that are not good. Blewett said he made this mistake, but eventually he realized that creating a partner was not his calling.
“It took some time to accept this reality – not as long as trying to find a ride at Lax arrival, but for a long time
It's enough – he wrote. – I finally took out the bag from the upper part when I knew the container would not close.
5. bad boxes
He said that this traveler's category is considered the most destructive. It refers to passengers who irritate others, from catching the seat, when they get up, after too much drinking, said Blewett.
Blewett wrote that people are much less likely to help these passengers. And in business, help from the network can have a huge difference.
“The desire to be a good neighbor meant that my network, my passenger cabin, was ready to help me where I had to go,” according to Blewett.
6. “willing exam”
Blewett said that the “willing exam” is present during almost every flight. He said they were leaflets who get up when the seat belt sign turned off, he said.
But the rush does not lead you to the destination much earlier, he said.
He told the story of a passenger who asked travelers if he could reduce the safety line to get to the on -board gate faster.
“Hanging to go, he forgot to remove the electronics from his pocket, causing detectors,” he wrote. “For irony, we finished cleaning safety.”
Blewett said that it was similar to his career, which included obtaining a legal degree, and at the same time ended in a different profession.
“The journey itself was a bit fun – of course in retrospect,” he wrote. “There is a lot, for which you should be grateful and looking back, I understand why every step mattered.”
