Welcome to Mr. Standby!
Mr. Standby is a new voice in the ethereal sea of blogs. 
Designed to Inspire you, Empower you, and Assist you. 
Come over, have a seat and refresh your imagination.


     Air Travel it seems is predominantly made up of a few groups of people. First class, the wealthy who require a curtain and a hot towel, they are unashamed of the high price they are willing to pay for those big cushy seats in the forward cabin of the plane. Business class, charge those drinks to the "per diem" account. They could have upgraded to First class but this trip is on the company, no need to shell out those extra dollars. Coach Class, just happy to be on the plane, honeymooners, new grandparents, bachelor parties, college bound, a pleasant mix of everyone else. Sure the drinks aren't big and the seats aren't luxurious, but Coach class beats sitting on the couch any day, period. 

Now that would seem to be it for the social structure of Air Travel, but there are subgroups that exist. Yes, Mr. Standby and his very lucky fellow Standby fliers. 

Mr. Standby enjoys the pleasure of sitting in Coach, in Business, and even in First class. Mr. Standby goes everywhere the plane goes, and does it at a fraction of the cost and usually for free. Mr. Standby is also not alone. There are almost always others in the subset enjoying the same luck as him.  Come along as he relates his adventures in words, photos and videos.
