I don't fly often but sometimes when I fly in Y, I often end up in a bulkhead seat. I was a young teenager when a pretty flight attendant decided to pull down a jumpseat and sit across from me before the takeoff. She gave me this beautiful smile and my heart rate went up by few notches. I was in love. Couple of years later, I am on a Hawaiian Air interisland flight and a Hawaiian goddess decided to pull down a jumpseat and gave me a deathly stare and smile. I tried to look down but then the skirt... Now I am older but during a recent flight a gorgeous EK FA decided to pull down a jumpseat across from me. You are never too old to enjoy the beauty but now I am thinking whether I should stare at her, talk to her or pretend to ignore her because I am not young to be innocent anymore.

Maybe they aren't actually smiling at you but rather laughing at you.

Next time try to wink at her, and see her reaction

DAMN I could never be that lucky

did anyone else read this as "jumpstart diarrhea" ??

lol. I read somewhere that most people will read the first and last letter in a word and make up the word. You are not too far off...

Maybe it's because they're required to fly in the jump seat

Try being friendly and talking to them like human beings. I've had some nice conversations in this situation.
