The same plane and crew will most likely be doing the IAH-SMF and SMF-IAH flights so I got to thinking, what do the FAs say to you when they see you back on the plane? Do you ever feel awkward or get questioned?
I have been kind of amused reading about all the MRs because half the destinations I would at least like to stay a night or two but maybe that defeats the purpose of a MR. The international ones are the ones that I get a kick out of the most. If I was going 10,000 miles away, I would surely like to at least experience Sydney or Singapore or Europe for a weekend or a few days. Just curious what peoples experiences have been returning on the same plane with the same crew.
I did this run back to back on Dec. 11 - 12. I will admit it was a little awkward because it was the first time i was doing it but as I sat down to do the work I had brought wiht me, it dawned on me that the FA had their work to do as well. I'm sure they do what most polite busy people do: Acknowledge it and conclude correctly that as long as I am properly ticketed they should leave me alone and hope I do not cause any problems. (smile)
