Loitering you say??? Hey, no one owns any "territory" on one of the Qantas birds. We are
just paying passengers with a seat "temporapily" allocated to us. No rights of property
are implied nor assumed - especially when in the air.

As for loitering, let me redefine that space from a "loiterer's" perspective. I am about
6'5" tall, and that location IS a good place to stand for a few minutes to stretch one's
legs if you just happen to be doing the flight in one of those seats forward of the 70-73
seat rows.

Standing there for a few minutes is a necessity in my mind - at least you can even
stretch there and touch your toes a few times. Loitering! Hah, my backside ;-)
