Easyjet, sexists?

I really dont get it. What difference does it make. You are on your own. Get on first, someone may sit next to you. Get on last , you may have to sit next to someone.I really dont see what the problem is.
For some people, if you look hard enough, you can eventually find a fault

I prefer to wait to get on as that way i can choose who i sit by rather than choosing a seat and then having someone i'm not so keen on sit next to me.

However the conspiracy theories are great - keep them coming!

Perhaps read the other answers.....Get on first and theres a choice of the following:
Front of plane
Back of Plane
Middle of Plane
Window Seat
Isle Seat
Middle Seat
Some with leg room some without
If im oly carrying handbaggage and if for example im in a rush, i could sit near the front in a isle seat
choices choices choices......Oh how id love a choice on a free seat airline....

Get on last and the choice that was there if i had got on first, then becomes the choice of everyone else who got on before me. Leaving me with no choice.

With regard to my attitude, im sure Easyjet dont yet have the ability to look into the future (although if someone can prove me wrong) see what threads im writing on here, work out who i am from Nozzer and sit me next to a 45 stone women as a result....??

This thread probably needs the input of more males...At the moment it appears to be from mainly women, who in my experience nearly always get an automatic pass to boarding group A....

Boarding groups on a free seat airline.....

I am intrigued as to why you think that the thread is only being contributed to by women ... another conspiracy?

I've got a friend at EMA at the mo (wish I was!) ... I'll give him a ring and ask him what boarding group he is in ...

Have you started drinking early today nozzer?

Maybe that's why they allocate you to Group B - you appear drunk when you check in so they are giving you more chance to sober up?

If a woman really weighed 45 stone she wouldn't be able to get into any seat. She'd be like that poor woman who died recently in the USA who weighed so much she couldn't even get out of bed.

Or do you simply think she weighed 45 stone?

I was going to point this out to the OP.

But he will only tell you you're wrong.

:beer: Probably did have one to many last night...:beer:

Nobody has answered my question about boarding groups on free seat flights yet? Getting rid of boarding groups (bar disabled, small children, Easyjet employees, easyjet mates of employess, other airline employees, otehr airline mates of employees, women, the elderly) would then make it a true first come first serve, free seat airline, would it not?

The result of this would be the "conspiracy nut cases" wouldnt have to write on MSE....

Whether or not im wrong or right, its not a conspiracy that i have never boarded with group A. Nor is it a conspiracy, that they have boarding groups on choose your own seat flights...

Not important to most....But to me, just once on what must have been 60 flights, id like choice.
Thats my input on this thread done...Thank you for all your replies.

Good points Mrs E and Margaret......Well done girls!

I've been flying the easyjet Belfast > Bristol route a lot recently (for uni) and had to start getting speedy boarding because I was always stuck in the rubbish group (even though I arrived really early because of train/bus schedules). I know it's a waste of money to get SB, but I'm a slightly nervous flyer and I feel better if I can get a seat near the front and have some time to chill out.
