God I hate flying commercial

You want a tight fit, try flying in a M20D Mooney to Oshkosh.

Oh? Try fitting a family of 6 into my dad's 67 M20C

I fly a fair bit for work, and I have to agree with most of the statements here.

That includes the people stuffing stuff in the overhead. I do carry-on only, but that is because I typically cannot afford to lose anything in my luggage, not because $20 matters. I get quite annoyed when people sitting in the back of the plane put stuff in the front.

When I got sent to California recently I rather rudely ousted some people's baggage from up front for them, so that the people in the first row had somewhere to put theirs. The stewardesses were trying not to laugh while scolding me. :)

Both times I've been on a commercial turbo prop (too and front Portland Maine from Laguardia) I was nervous about them, and they ended being the smoothest plane rides I've been on. They fit several more people, but on the way out they did end up doing some balancing, since not enough passengers were booked in that single line of seats across the isle. It was 2 or 3 together, isle then 1 by itself on each row. It was strange looking to me.

Yep... I have done those a few times. I believe both times were when flying to Hawaii from Sacramento. They used a 30 passenger EMB120 from Sacramento to a connecting flight in San Francisco.
