That doesn't seem to stop the average crewmember checking out every single
passenger (of desired gender) on the plane. Starting at the front, and working back, aisle by aisle.

And then coming back up to the front, for a second look.

And then sending a crewmate up, to give a second opinion.

Don't think we don't notice.

Just because it happens to you, Smirny does not mean it happens to everyone. Darn you for being so handsome.

But Dolly, he's such a flirt - he checks out all the female crew. Hugs them, kisses them and even accompanies them to their bunks. It must be his handsomeness and charm

Glad to see someone else has noticed the lack of totty (male or female) up front.

The answer is to fly in Y. Seen Soul Plane? Watch it and you'll be flying economy if you're looking for totty.

In their defense I'd like to offer a brief word in favour of the Gatwick Cabin Crew, some of whom are probably young enough to be my Daughters. Haven't paid as much attention to the boys I'm afraid!

More realistically, I came back on 196 on Tues/Weds on which the folks did a good job - nothing startling, just good, happy, supportive, professional, and streets ahead of the grumpy Cousins - all power to the ladies and gentlemen who aren't quite young enough to be my kids, but make BA, well, BA.

I think you'll find on overnight flights they're playing 'Spot the Stiffy'

On a more important note, I'm wondering why the OP is in Galleries Club North when he could be in Galleries First due to Gold status...

The distribution can be, erm, skewed. I've had two trips on the UD in which I was the only girlie in the cabin, save for the crew members. Shame, though, that most of the pax weren't tottylicious, and those who were were....ah, West Indian (thanks, irmster), as it were.

I shall aim to be at my most alluring when next in the Galleries or YVR lounges , just for fun.

The load on our EDI-LHR was so light today that they served the breakfast tray by tray rather than from the cart. Thus many flashes of that nice red lining in the hem of the skirt. Very smart!

I suspect the dialogue goes something like this....

FA1 - "I see we've got that Smirnoff bloke on board, you know him from Flyertalk."
FA2 - Oh him, where's he sitting?
FA1 - In his usual place, 1C
FA2 - Look after me trolley love till I go and get a look at him,I'm dying to see what he looks like.
FA1 - Yeah no bother, but don't make it look too obvious will you.
FA2 - Don't worry, I'll pretend to ask him about his special meal...................................

FA1 - Well.....did you see him?
FA2 - Yeah!!
FA1 - And?
FA2 - He's not what I expected!!
FA1 - And what were you expecting?
FA2 - I don't really know...somebody fatter and maturer I think.
FA1 - Fatter and maturer?....You make it sound as if you were expecting to see a Vietnamese potbelly pig.
FA2 - Plus....he's a bit odd
FA1 - What do you mean a bit odd?
FA2 - Well, when I asked him if he wanted the special meal he said...Oh yes I'll have the usual dollop of unidentifiable goo please.
FA1 - Ah yes......that's him alright, always the joker.
FA2 - There's something else strange about him.
FA1 - Really?
FA2 - Yes
FA1 - Well, go on tell me then.
FA2 - He said he was rather disappointed that the shaky armrest had been fixed and the wet floor was no more as he had got a fair bit of mileage out of telling that story...........Oh, and before I left he asked me if I knew what his CIV score was.
FA1 - Is he on about that again I only told him last week...so did you tell him?
FA2 - I told him I didn't know anything about football results.
FA1 - Oh my God That'll be in Flyertalk tomorrow.....you'll see.


FA3 - I see that Smirnoff bloke is in 1C?
FA1+2 - Yeah we know, what's he up to now?
FA3 - He says he wants a kiss and a cuddle from us all on the way out and he's not leaving till we give it him.
FA1+2 -

Golly, my late night interweb reading has perked up a bit. I think this beats AAnother forum hands down. Hats off on the double-entendre guys and gals and anyone else!
