I usually dont eat much on the flights, but I do drink a lot of water and sometimes Tea. Many times I help myself and the FAs dont seem to mind. I usually know where everything is. I havent seen anybody else doing this. |

I figured this was his first flight, or at least the first on a prop, so I told him that this was normal, no need to worry, etc. I asked him if this was his first flight, and he looks at me half p/o'd, half embarrassed and blurts out that he's a g-d PILOT!
The guy had always flown full sized jets, so he wasn't used to the props, and combined with what he defined as the lack of control as a passenger in this weather, had him a bit nervous. |

nobody ever objected, but many times on NW they politely tell me "let me take care of that for you" and they do it! :D they keep the back galley on many KL flights curtained off.. |

What really is nuts is when they have something under the seat in front of them AND under their seat. "I can't put this under the seat in front of me, my other bag is there".
Gotta love it |

When I don't get the exit, I always size up the person sitting there... |

Surprised no one has mentioned spotting the newbees long before being on the plane. I spot them at security, for some reason they always get in my line right in front of me. :D
Newbees read all the signs while in line and wonder out loud with their partner: It says 1000 speed film is safe, what about my video camera? What speed is that? Oh no, someone who has never visited with TSA before. Then the same old exchange: Newbee puts three bags on the x ray belt. TSA: you have to take the laptop out of the case, you didn't know? tray #1 goes into the xray TSA: you have to take off the jacket before coming thru this WTMD. Oh and the sweater too. tray #2 TSA: You have to take your boots off Beep: TSA: Try emptying your pockets, yes the cell phone and the key ring too Tray #3 Beep TSA: Did you empty your pockets, yes the coins too. Tray #4 Beep TSA: Try taking your belt off Tray #5 Beep TSA: Try taking that Harley bike chain jewelry off, put in the tray Tray #6 Beep TSA: You say you have 17 piercings? Step over here, we have to hand wand you, don't worry your three bags and six trays will be there backing up everyone elses bags and holding up the line. Not to worry, those 50 FT PE troublemakers will gladly wait while we SSSS you. :D |

Wish I'd thought of it, and I could have just wanded him before we left the house. :p |
