I WAS PART of the crew on a very long commercial flight, and we had
on board an irate first-class passenger who could not be pleased. "I'm
going to have your job!" he finally exploded at one of the flight attendants.
"Sir," she replied politely, "you're going to love it. You'll meet the nicest
people."

CONDUCTING fuel-consumption tests on a new twin-engine plane, we
were en route from Pennsylvania to Florida. Just north of Richmond, Va., I
called the air-traffic controller to make a position report on our plane,
whose designation was 5000 Y. The controller, in a Southern drawl,
replied, "Oh, no, not again!" I was puzzled by the response until I realized
what I had said: "We are 5000 Yankee, 25 miles north of Richmond."

THE AIRLINE I fly for sometimes requires pilots to "deadhead" -- travel
as passengers on regular flights to the airport where their own flight is to
begin. On one such run, a captain and I were in uniform and seated near
the front of the plane. Waiting for takeoff, we became aware of a young
woman standing in the aisle, staring at us. She looked quite worried as she
leaned over and whispered, "Excuse me, but aren't you guys in the wrong
seats?"

THERE AREN'T MANY of us female airline pilots, and as a result I am
often mistaken for a skycap when I'm in uniform. Once while I was
standing in front of an airport terminal between flights, an expensively
dressed woman pulled up in her Cadillac and imperiously directed me to
check her bags. It was no big deal, so I did it. Thirty minutes later, I
boarded my aircraft to see that the woman was seated in the front row,
eyeing me curiously. I winked at her, noting with satisfaction her shocked
expression. I then entered the cockpit to assume my duties.

AS A FLIGHT ATTENDANT, I am occasionally called upon to help with
overbooked planes by asking for volunteers who will give up their seats in
exchange for a free ticket. In one such instance, nobody wanted to
cooperate, so the bidding went higher: "One free ticket plus 20 dollars
cash." No one thought the offer worth it. The final bid was, "One
round-trip ticket plus 50 dollars." Silence. Then the captain's voice boomed
out over the intercom, "You can have my seat. I'll take it."
