Now that is classic! No one could make up something like that!

 

[scangadah]

Sounds like you are a "man in the know" about those $10 women!

The women that JBcrjca hangs out with would give him $5 back.

That could be taken either way!

Neighbor told me of a FA that worked for one of the winter charter companys - for 1 day. Seems they have a charter to Cancun, she takes her husband. The charter lands crew goes to the hotel for the overnight. She thinks the crew is staying the full 7 days and takes off with her husband to see the sights. Next day crew is short 1 FA.

Fill in the blanks about when she showed back up in seven days.

Hey I'm just happy if a woman will give me the time of day...if I get $5 back, that's just an added bonus!
Speaking of money, scangadah, how much did you have to pay those girls in your avatar to come dance on the Bugs' boat? I've heard that girls on the river are cheap, something like 3 bucks?

Someone mentioned F/As afraid of ghosts...reminds me of a layover at STS, with a fantastic hotel downtown. Since it was also reportedly haunted, most F/As preferred rooms in the annex building across the street. One night the rooms in the annex were all full, and our F/A had to stay in the main building. After returning from the pub where many, many beers had been consumed, the F/A announced that she was too scared to sleep in her own room, and that she would crash on the couch in my room. Of course I said that would be fine. As she made herself comfy on the couch, I said 'don't be silly, sleeping on that couch will wreck your back...you can share the bed with me, and we'll put pillows down the middle'. Hey, I look out for the welfare of my crew! She agreed, and the pillows were put into place. It was rather amusing...and that's all I have to say about that. I sure miss STS. Ok scangadah, your turn.

I need a new gig.

I have got to get a flying gig with stews.

 

[Ailerongirl]

*raising an eyebrow* stews????

 

[jarhead]

Yup....that's short for STEWARDESS......That's the way it was before the PC police had to gender neutralize everything.

In the Railroad days, the job was held by males, and they were called STEWARDS. I am old enough to remember riding in Pullman cars, and I cannot recall ever seeing a female STEWARD. It was a job totally dominated by males. Now days, we have to be sensitive though. In the air, there are male flight attendants now. Most are gay (not that there is anything wrong with that), but couldn't they be called stewards, and females be called stewardess, and collectively, they all be called 'stewardi"?

"stews"

:Chortle:

 

[Ailerongirl]

Ummm jar.....knew what he meant thanks! Was just poking fun!

 

[jarhead]

Me too, ailerongirl....I knew that you knew. Just stating the obvious.

Don't believe the hype dude. Most of these guys that can't get nuttin better than an airplane waitress, were sent away to flight school because they had a pinup of their mammy's teat on the wall of their bedroom and they were caught jerking off to it.

Years ago when the liquor was free on my airline, the crews would clean out the liquor drawer on the plane and take the libations to the hotel.

We used to stay at the Howard Johnsons in BOS. When the clipboard came around, the crews would fight over the room nicknamed the "mini room". When you lifted up the mattress, every type of mini was between the mattress and box spring! Always a good time in BOS!

 

[KC-10 Driver]

Not my story, but a pretty well-known one at US Airways--

Years ago, before the Piedmont merger, there was an infamous good-old-boy Piedmont captain who was notorious for getting into trouble. He always seemed to get away with it, though.

On one layover in the Caribbean, he was losing big-time at the tables. When out of money, and in a desperate act to break even, he offered the airplane to cover his bet. And he lost.

The next day, when the crew showed for the trip, the local authorities would not release the plane, claiming it now belonged to the casino.

Somehow, the company straightened it out, but it probably cost the captain a major payroll deduction for a very long time!

Anybody ever wreck the crew car?
