If they look like this, then we can talk the entire flight about whatever the hell they want-

I usually pretend I'm asleep as soon as we're airborne.

I'm to scared to even look in steerage, makes my skin crawl just imagining what all may go on back there

Right when the other person sits down I say to them "glad we didn't get a female/black pilot" and that usually keeps them from talking to me.

airplanes are becoming walmarts of the sky. pretty trashy frickers flying around these days. they need to raise fares to weed out the undesirables.

Can we come up with a secret signal to alert OTers they are flying on a 777Tiger piloted plane?

Never talk unless asked a question. Then I'm polite but the conversation doesn't go anywhere

we don't want a mass exodus on our hands, the company needs the $

Keep to myself. I have worst luck with the people I sit by. I'd carry on small talk if the person looked to have similar interest, but that's a rarity.
I'm usually keeping an eye on the most fidgety hijack candidate.

If the chick next to me is hot as frick, then definitely. If not, then I don't bother.

I'm buried in a book or something unless I'm sitting by someone I know.

Also another factor. I have a club membership, so after a long layover it's probably best I do what I can to keep my mouth shut.

I don't talk to anyone in public and rarely talk to my own family members - why in the hell would I talk to strangers on an airplane?

If it is not my regular pilot, I will introduce myself, but don't want to aggravate him and let him focus on doing his job

Years ago I was on US Air flight from New Orleans to Pittsburgh. I was sitting next to tall ship black guy in the black suit. I look down and see he's wearing a Superbowl ring. Turns out he was Mel Blount.
He was a talker and a very interesting conversationalist

I'll return small talk, but I usually sleep like a baby once we're in the air.

I'll talk happily with the people who don't give me the impression they will talk the whole time. The ones that pass off the vibe as wanting to talk the whole flight will get the cold shoulder. I like some conversation, but I like to zone out too.
This. Just enough conversation that it isn't awkward sitting next to someone for hours that you don't say a word to, but also not so much talking that it becomes laborious or prevents you from relaxing and doing your own thing.
