Had a funny one with a JB FA, a very entertaining 1-percenter.
We were getting picked up at the hotel downtown at a major US city, middle of the day busy sidewalks. As we and the FA's dropped are bags, the Captain notices a "chica" sitting in the front pax seat of the Econoline.
Driver says it's a JB FA. Captain says what's up, it's our company paid van, not hotel shuttle, and did she just hop in without asking? It wasn't too long after 9/11, so he also asked the driver the policy of carrying non-compnay riders. I think it was JB TDY or layover hotel also. If she had just asked the CA, he would have said yes.
The driver cops an attitude to the CA and struts up to her door, opens it barking his best Chris Farley motivational speaker voice, "come'on Missy, get out of the van, CA sez no other riders today". We both stood there for a second a little dumbfounded at his flaky act, but he was just opening the
"show" for the JB FA.
She gets out on the busy sidewalk in full JB uniform, does a 180, and proceeds to start screaming at us with a four letter tirade worthy of a convict screaming after smashing his foot with a sledge hammer. "You M#$%^#C%^&*$$%RS F##$%^&RS GOD D$%%^&&^$$$$$%%^^$$, GO %%^^^&^$%$###$%%%^^" Kind of a Rev Jeremiah Jones speech with 4-letter words.
There were people 50' up and down the sidewalk turning around as well as every head staring as the walked around her. Funniest D$$m thing I'd seen in awhile and surely broke up the monotony of a 4-day trip. I think I said to a couple of people, "Hi we're JB Pilots" as they passed by stunned. I couldn't even get in my smart arse statement, "Awww honey, the counseling should help".
She was kind of a chunky, average looking white chick in her early 20's. I was surprised because it usually takes 15 years and 3 marriages for FA's to tee off like that at my airline
I know it's the 1/2 of 1-Percenter after riding with you guys a few times.
It made my day.
