We both started the flight with Woodford Reserve on the rocks. Having a 100 mile drive after we landed, I switched to water. I don't know his plans, but he kept on with the WR. I'd have shared (the water or the FA ) if he'd asked.

That's actually a reasonable explanation for his odd look and her delivery of 2 bottles instead of the one I asked for. At the time, my interpretation was that she darn well wasn't answering a second ding for another water.

I doubt that FA was the same one that penned the BT article, but every time I reread it, I get steamed, and hope I never find myself on one of her flights.

He wasn't in uniform, was he?

No, he was naked.

Actually, I was wondering why he was not in uniform. I guess there's rules about when you must and when you may not wear your uniform, but I have no idea what they are.

1. He told me he lived in Atlanta and his job was in Cinncinati.
2. He told me he was a pilot.
3. He said he flew RJ's.
4. He said he flew between CVG & ATL more than once a week.

I assumed from those clues that he worked for Comair. I guess there are multiple other possibilities, but that just seemed too likely.

Anyone care to enlighten me on the uniform rules/guidelines?

No alcohol consumption while in uniform is the rule.
