One of the REALLY IRRITATING things about being in coach is the constant announcements of the great things that are available to the First Class and Sleeper passengers. The wine tasting will start in ten minutes. First class and sleeper passengers only. The movie will start in ten minutes. The attendant will take meal car reservations shortly. First class and sleeper passengers will have their choice. The rest of you can wait, and if we run out of food, we're very very sorry. Note the salmon and the chicken are gone. and then: We are stranded on the tracks for three hours. First class and sleeper car passengers will be airlifted out by helicopter, if you want. The attendant will come around and take your reservations. -- made that last bit up - but you get the idea.
