Comments on: High jinks…what the cabin crew (and pilots) really get up to http://partnerofapilot.wordpress.com/2008/07/20/high-jinkswhat-the-cabin-crew-and-pilots-really-get-up-to/ The Candid Diary of an Airline Pilot's Girlfriend Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:50:25 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Partner of a Pilot http://partnerofapilot.wordpress.com/2008/07/20/high-jinkswhat-the-cabin-crew-and-pilots-really-get-up-to/#comment-954 Partner of a Pilot Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:18:11 +0000 http://partnerofapilot.wordpress.com/?p=293#comment-954 I know!!!! I was shocked when I heard, but Bf had heard of it happening in his company, and I'm pretty sure that the one who told he and that captain about it would have obliged if they'd given her the reaction she was looking for... You get them in all walks of life though. A friend of mine who works in IT was given the opportunity to check out a co-worker's boob job too. I have no idea why someone would want to show this to someone randomly, as they're blatantly never going to respect you afterwards... Also, if you actually liked them, you would want them to think you had a bit more class than to let any random guy cop a look/feel-surely? I guess I'll never get my head around what motivates someone who is sober and at work to behave this way-go figure! I know!!!!

I've never heard of anything like that happening (although I can certainly understand if that does happen). The worst I've heard is the pilots MAY do something a little out of the ordinary if the plane is empty. For example, my husband, on occasion, would test the short-field take-off performance of his aircraft, along with how well it would hold ground-effect, then pitch up. I've seen him execute this maneuver in our personal airplanes, he gets a rush out of it. It is pretty exciting, but not exactly dangerous. On the other hand, I've also had concerns about particular pilots when I managed a 135 operation for a short time. It was my job to schedule the pilots and I was forever having problems with a few of them coming into work hung-over or "having a beer for breakfast" so I wouldn't make them work that day. At the time, the company was short on pilots, so they pretty much got away with it from the management, but if it were up to me, I would have suspended them for that kind of action. I mean, come on, it's a professional business. People look up to the pilots to get them from one location to another, SAFELY. If you can't rely on your pilot, who can you rely on? My 2-cents is that if these companies KNOW they have pilots violating the regs, they need to do something about it. With all the furloughs going on right now, I'm sure they won't have a problem replacing these kind of pilots/crew. I am interested as to WHO her sources are.
