Air India Provides Female-Only Seating Rows


Opinion: It must have been inspired by recent news items about male passengers making male passes at female seatmates. Of course, we endorse the protected seating for all airlines where women may fear being groped by horny male strangers.

But, as long as there’s a female-only section, it’s only fair that there also be male-only seating. There guys will be able to relax, take off their shoes and unbuckle their belts. They’ll be free to pick their noses, rub their toes and vigorously scratch the more intimate parts of their bodies.

They’ll also be permitted to loudly discuss politics, women, sports and booze while using all the four-letter words they choose. And after dining on the airline meal, the guys won’t be restricted from belching and emitting loud noises from other areas of their bodies.

Wanna Gather With Your Old GI Gang Again? PDF Print E-mail


How many of our travel4seniors.com readers can remember seeing living Civil War veterans. Your elder editor was part of a high school cadet corps in 1941 that marched in a Philly parade honoring local survivors of the GAR (Grand Army of the Republic).

More than 75 years after the War Between the States, some 20 very old guys in faded blue Union uniforms marched with us or rode in open cars. Their ages ranged from 90 to 105. Military reunions have always been important events after men and women returned from war. They then got together annually to relive old times.

The biggest reunions happened in the decades after World War II, when more than 10 million men and women served, including your elderly editor. It has been more than 75 years since that time, and our ranks are getting thinner every year.

Fortunately, true to tradition and abiding sense of comradeship, annual meetings will continue for both old and young veterans of all branches of our Armed Forces. They gather in such great locations as New York City, Santa Monica, Las Vegas and Disney parks.
