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
;-)


Well, according to my dictionary definition, loitering is simply spending
time idly or lingering. There's no connotation of it being not allowable or
illegal, so don't know why you've taken exception to it. I can never sleep
on any aircraft flights, and often use the same space as you do to stretch
and avoid the delights of DVT.
