I, Billy Bob Ray, consider myself a worldly man. I have spent time in places where most have not been. I have spent time with people that you would not want to know. But -- what I had not done is fly on a plane. Yes, today was my first day off the ground.

We flew from Shreveport and this was good. It was sorta a starter flight. The plane was smaller and the number of people was smaller. I was in training.

I sat in seats 10b and 10c. As I mentioned it was a small plane so when my seatmate arrived and tried to sit down – everyone recognized we had a volume problem. The guy was assigned to another seat.

We arrived in Dallas and had to change planes. The second plane was much bigger and there were MORE people.

When we arrived the announcer on the plane was yelling into the microphone “This is a completely full flight. There are no empty seats. You must take your seat now.”
