Yesterday afternoon, I was in a US domestic SkyClub. As typical on a Friday afternoon, the club was pretty full - perhaps 70 % of the seats were taken. The club was one of those pretty large and bright ones, with most seating in the large, mostly open seating area.
Across the room, there was an individual leaning back against the interior glass wall gently snoring - he was there the entire couple of hours I was at the club yesterday afternoon. In his area, almost every seat was taken - so he was completely surrounded by other people.
My flight was coming up, so I left the club and headed to the gate.
I was left wondering whatever happened to the individual sleeping. Did anyone nearby know him? Assuming not, did anyone wake him to see if he needed to make a flight? My flight was the last of the day to my destination - there were a few more flights but certainly the operational day was winding down.
I've left the name of the SkyClub out of this vignette to see if these sorts of things might happen a lot. I didn't do anything - I just left the club and caught my flight. What would you do?
