I’m writing this while aboard a flight from Seattle to San Francisco. I’m sitting in first class – a result of Northwest/Alaska frequent flier luck – and the experience has been great. I’ve always been curious about who the first class fliers are – what they do, how important they might be, etc. Today is no different, only now that I am amongst the first classers I have more time to visually inspect them. Most of them seem to be typical businessmen kicking off the week on the early Monday flight, but one person – sitting in 2F to my 2C – has me so worked up about who he might be.
Am I sitting near Mark Zuckerburg?
I’ve perhaps absurdly tried to deduce the answer based on physical observations.
Yes?
- Has same hair, facial features. Basically looks a LOT like him. Or what I think Mark looks like.
- Reading Wired magazine
- Flying first class to SF
- It looks a lot like him
No?
- Dressed in business casual. Not his typical style.
- Using a blackberry. I’d expect an iPhone.
- Appears to be bigger than I expected
- Glasses? This dude has them. Does Mark?
I wish I could take a picture but that seems a little to overboard/creepy. But this has been burning in my mind all flight and will probably haunt me forever!
