Airplane etiquette looks simple – Awareness in space, don’t bother other passengers and pay attention Instructions from Air Force crew.
but Advertising campaigns and Suppression The effort to calm down the destructive behavior shows that it remains.
At first glance, a new book – “How to Avoid Strangers on the Airplane: A Survival Guide for Frequent Business Travelers” seems to be another attempt to curb thriller flyers. But writer Brandon Blewett, a regular business traveler, says he learns a lot from these passengers.
Blewett, head of corporate development for a Virginia-based company, said he wrote the book in the similarities between business travel and difficulties in his career.
He said he first listed annoying travel habits that quickly became too long.
“I realized I couldn’t write about 25 habits,” Blevit said. Plus, he didn’t want the book to be “angry about the annoying things we see on planes or on airports.”
So he cut it down to six – everyone is about how travelers use these situations to improve their careers.
1. ‘Gate Lice’
He wrote that the “door lice” were passengers who flocked to the boarding area and blocked the door before phone time.
He said there are these people at work.
“Even if it’s our turn, people will block our way to board the plane,” he wrote. “Other times, people will go above and take flights to what we think is our career destination.”
Blewett said, finding ways to these people. What is his suggestion? Pivot.
Brevitt said he learned this early in his career. He wrote that after graduating from law school during the Great Depression, he worked as a car valet — a far cry from the goal of becoming a sports agent.
“I pivoted my MBA program for a year in view of the bleak prospects of postdoc Julis’s postdoc work,” he wrote. “The school also built strong relationships with companies that I sought a tax role.”
He later played a role in a tax company, he said.
“It seems like a dead end may be just a hub waiting to happen,” he wrote.
2. “Backpacking destroys crew”
Aircraft etiquette stipulates flyers Wear the backpack in the front Instead of preventing an inadvertent hit to someone else’s back, Blewett called it an “Airbus attack.”
But, he said, business travelers should prepare for “strikes” – whether on planes or in their professions, and can use them to become more resilient.
Blewett told CNBC that he hopes his book encourages people to “look around and see what you can learn” from annoying passengers.

Throughout this career, he listed a few fools, from making less money than many of his law school peers to passing promotions.
He wrote: “It took three tough SM bullets to get me into KPMG, trade, and into a practice where I can actually gain useful skills in my long-term career.”
3. “Conference Telephone” bully
Blewett said the passengers held teleconferences at the High Bebel level in “Boeing Board Meetings”, often refusing to end the phone and hide their devices. These people are the hardest people to accept the delay in weather.
Blewett writes in the book that people in difficulty are everywhere, whether in your office or in your flight.
The best way to deal with them, he said, is “witness, perseverance and humility.”
He mentioned Dolly Parton’s infamous interview with Barbara Waltersin which Walters asked her if she was a country man.
He wrote: “She lets her work and wit speak for herself.

These passengers often participate in what Blewett calls “junk shoes” – ignoring the space constraints in the elevated compartment while filling up space in unsuitable bags. Usually, instead of even trying to close the door, they choose to sit down and put the burden through the air crew to find out.
This could lead to “salmon”, which occurs when the stewardess moves bulky bags behind a person’s seat, forcing passengers to object to the movement of the departure pilot at the end of the flight.
Blewett wrote that this behavior is often made by passengers who act “in empty, out of pure exhaustion.”
Professionals also engage in trash bins when they force inappropriate career goals. Brevitt said he made the mistake but eventually realized that letting his partner was not his call.
“It took some time to accept this reality – not as long as you try to get to where Lax arrives, but very long
He wrote, enough. “Eventually, when I knew the trash wasn’t going to close, I took my bag out over my head.”
5. Bad behavior
He said such travelers are considered the most destructive. It refers to the passengers who stimulate others, from grabbing the back of the seat when they wake up to drinking too much, Blewett said.
Blewett wrote that people are less inclined to help these passengers. In business, network help can make huge changes.
“Willing to be a good seating neighbor means my network, my passenger cabin is willing to help where I need to go,” Blewett said.
6. “Emergency exit”
Blewett said there was an “urgent exit” in almost every flight. He said they were flyers that stood up when the seat belt sign was closed.
But rush won’t let you get to your destination soon, he said.
He tells a story about a passenger, and he asks travelers if they can cut safety lines to get to the boarding gate faster.
“In a hurry to pass, he forgot to take the electronics out of his pocket and activate the detector,” he wrote. “Ironically, we cut the security at the same time.”
Blevitt said it was similar to his career journey, which included a law degree but ended up in another career.
“The journey itself is a little fun – looking back.” “There are so much to be grateful for, and looking back, I see why every step matters.”
