I remember something like this. Me and my gf flew from Las Vegas to NYC to visit my parents the first week of October 2001 and we were in the bulkhead in regular economy class. We booked the flight in August but the flight attendants said we could only sit there if I agreed to assist if anything happened on the flight. I lost two friends in the World Trade Center so I agreed immediately.

I remember up until about 2012, whenever I flew within the United States or internationally, the airlines would call service members up to the counter and upgrade their seats as well as strategically locate them throughout the plane. They would do this quietly so it's not to alert other passengers. This happened to me multiple times when traveling on government orders, as well as personal travel.

I flew a lot back in the early 2000’s. I worked as a private investigator and a bounty hunter, we always had to check our sidearms w the captain and sit in the last row in the aft of the plane. I few the week after 9/11 and the captain had me and my partner ride in the folding jump seats behind the pilot cabin and made us keep our guns. It was very weird.

I enlisted around 9/11, and every flight I took between 2002 and 2006 I found myself being bumped to first class or, if no seats were available, the first row of economy, and they were always isle seats. I was never told by the pilots or flight staff that I was the last line of defense, but being that anyone could look at me and know I was military, and I was conveniently moved to better seating towards the front of the plane, I knew what was going on and what was expected of me. I imagine if the were relying on Louis C.K. to be the last line of defense, they didn't have any military types flying that day.

Shortly after 9/11 I was going home after a TDY stint for the Arny. My self and a marine were upgraded to first class and asked to sit on the isle seat just behind the forward bulkhead. The pilot was doing his best to not say why he did it without saying it. We got the point and had no problem with it.

If 1st class passengers is last line of defense, we're doomed 😅
