Pavlovian

 

I have a Pavlovian reaction to aircraft seats.

As soon as I sit down in one, I fall asleep.

It goes back to the mid-90s, when I was flying 120,000 miles a year on business in a constant jet-lagged daze.

See food - eat it.

See a bed or aircraft seat - sleep in it

So Loop 5, a new shopping mall, is just the place for me.

They've got a Mig21 suspended from the roof and pictures of Comet 4s.

And they've got Abandoned Husband zones with aircraft seats.

I've probably sat in most of them, come to think of it - standard Lufthansa 3-3 narrow body configuration, and if it's Business Class, you fold down the cushion of the middle seat and you've got 2-2.

And the magic still works.

Sat down.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......
