Returning from a totally legit business trip to AMS I got talking to a crewmember who a) assumed I was on a B2B exEU trip, and b) told me that all his own long haul travel was booked exEU!

I got the feeling he read FT more than me!

Flying back from IST last year, the passenger in front of me said hello and revealed that they may be Pucci Galore. Maybe.
Was the Hair Brush in evidence ?

Yes you did and it was very kind of you and the other people who have done the same.
I have met a few of you over the years and no doubt I will meet more in the future.

I haven’t, but after dispensing some definitely-against-the-rules kindness a staff member did once say to me “I don’t want to read about this on the Flyertalk website”. He never has.

I suspect that more Aviation folk read pprune. Certainly the Nigels and Nigellas.

If I was a CC, I would probably want to forget about work, rather than read more about it on my time off. So I think we are fortunate to have CIHY et al on here.

At all times I prefer to stay in the closet. It's obviously a very personal thing to each and everyone.
Very interesting hearing these different accounts. Nice thread!

Until now.

Just because CIHY has a wife does not mean they are male.

I have said this before but if you're lucky and put your flights on BA97.com you may be outed by CC rather than the other way around - and yes CIHY is definitely a man

It's somewhat amazing to believe that this is even a thing...
