Strategically placed crumbled napkins that appear to be snot-rags work well also.

Being an AA guy, with the recent contract and media crap going on, I always assume some schlub with a camera is watching from the terminal. I make sure I've got my flashlight, checklist, all necessary implements, so there'll never be any "questions" about my pre-flight.

Why yes, yes he would. I get the feeling you know whom I speak of.

I will have to say, I don't mind this as a deadheader cause there is some nasty people sitting in those seats before me. But when working with the guy I can see how frustrating it could be when he wants you to do his work too.

If we were delayed and/or had the time, no big deal but when we have a relatively quick turn, just do your job man!

I nominate the Eagle F/A who keeps walking into the USO here in ORD and taking hot dogs, chips, juice, etc from the "reserved for military families" cooler. The fact the I and everyone else who belongs here keep looking at her skeptically isn't enough deterrent I guess.

Just a thought, complete totd if she shouldn't be there, but she could also be the wife of a deployed service member. Food for thought

Thought of that. During my six years flying 121, I wouldn't go in a USO in my airline uniform. I doubt most reservists flying 121 would. Checked for a ring: unmarried. Her physical proportions would seem to rule out her membership in the armed forces, thus...
