re: Anyone ever date a Flight Attendant?

When I lived in Dubai I dated one that worked for Emirates. They called them cabin crew, not stewardesses. We had some good times.

This reminds me of one of the cheesiest shows to ever be made... "Mile High" from Britain. Almost Skinemax levels. It was a horrible show, displayed terrible acting, and had incredibly predictable plot lines.

From Wikipedia: Mile High is a mix of drama, sex and comedy. The show is based around the flight crew of a young budget airline, in and out of uniform, in the air and on the ground. The series follows the flight crew as they travel and live in the London home they share.


BUT... on the plus side:




I mean, not that I would watch such drivel that may be as yet unknown to the American public. I merely provide this information as a TD public service.

Don't know any flight attendants personally, but hung out with one at a hotel bar in San Antonio on business. We actually split a cab and went to dinner. Turned out to be an interesting conversation.

She said they often times get in on a late flight and have to leave first thing in the morning, meaning everyone goes straight to their room and to bed. Day schedules can look something like, Kansas City--->Denver--->New Orleans--->Houston---> California, so the days can drag on. She did say on the rare occasion they are done by 7pm, they go check out a city and that's when the craziness happens. Lots of hooking up between pilots and flight attendant's/locals. They work hard to play hard.

To me, it didn't seem any different than the sales people I work with. Some faithful, some not, but most everyone looking to enjoy themselves.

Words of wisdom: never date a flight attendant or a hairdresser. Don't trust women who are "out of town" often or women who rely on sharp objects to make a living...

I dated one, briefly, back when I was freelancing for my brother at a high school. My brother was the principal, and he and some students were planning a class trip to Yosemite. Lame. Being an avid outdoorsman, I convinced the students to come whitewater rafting with me. But right before the trip, I met a hot stewardness named Inga. So, I bailed on the kids and spent the weekend with Inga. Instead of telling the students myself (and letting them down), I had my brother do it for me.

I don't think too much partying goes on with the job.

Oh, of course not.

Here's some of the celebrities my wife met.

Good folks: Usher, Ludacris, former U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, former President Jimmy Carter, the dudes from Korn (they gave her a bag of weed as a thank you for snagging them a big bag of snack mix. She had regular drug testing, so she had to give the pot away.), Katie Holmes (she spent her flight writing thank you notes and getting blitzed on wine), Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale.

She met Donald Trump when his private plane was having trouble and he needed to fly Delta to get back to New York. Said he was pretty quiet, not demanding.

Anderson Cooper is an arse hole. And Ashanti was really full of herself.
