The 767s that fly MAN-JFK did have 8 F seats in the past. They were the old blue version of the current F seat.

Jessica Simpson - January 8
DFW- BUR
Seat 4A (her assistant in 4B)

She seemed really nice. They moved a soldier up from coach to an empty seat (3A) right after the doors closed. She spent a while speaking with him and thanking him for his service and telling him he is the real star........ seemed genuine.....

Wow, I'm pretty impressed with you guys. I wouldn't be able to recognize many of these guys at all. I'm lousy with faces.

Me too. I have trouble recognizing coworkers if I haven't seen them in a month or two

Scotty Nguyen

I was waiting in the boarding area in Las Vegas for the passengers to deplane so we could board and off walks Scotty Nguyen. I wished him good luck, "Good Luck - Baby" he replied with a wave in the air, and walked towards baggage claim..

I have no Sightings to report

My reason for posting is to get a dangerous post for all of us OFF the first page. Sorry

Celebrity Sit Next too..

Twice for me -- and it was really great. Jerry Rice, he even without asking, signed his boarding pass for my son, after a bunch of people came up asking for an autograph. He was a great guy to chat with, and when I got off the plane, he was nice enough to take my bag down from the overhead and hand it to me. No one has ever done that for me.

Also, Emmit Smith, he hung out in the galley most of the time!
