Flying Thoughts

Once again I am amazed how slow the check-in at Brazilian airports can be. Not because there are so long lines, but the handling at the desk is just so slow. They all seem to have their first day at work and every passanger seems their first ever, as if they necer did this before. Some of the passengers also act as if they never travelled before, eventhough I don't think that is the case.  And then the Brazilian's love for talkin!!!! How is it possible that the question whether you want a aisl or window seat can take minimum of three minutes to answer??

Another thing that I have been thinking about while flying lately is all the signs and texts ON the plane telling you to "No Step!" or "No step beond this line". The lines on the wings I suppose are to direct people in case of evacuation after an emergency landing, but if you have crashed/done an emergency landing does it really matter where on the wings you step?! But then there are those signs in various places on the body of the planes, there I find it harder to figure out why you would want to step there.
