yeah I thought it was you, then looked at the article.. nope.. not Scott - seriously never heard row used that way.
I read the title like "Hawaiian Airlines plane diverted over Blanket Row (as if Blanket Row was some part of some city)" I was thinking - where the hell is Blanket Row, and why is it called that?

Seems like more likely it would be a row of seats replaced with blankets and they were fighting over who got to fly in the blanket forts vs. in the normal seats.

LOL - truly I did actually think that at first, but that was absurd and instantly dismissed.
