Why yes it is!  I just walked in the door, dropped everything, poured a stiff drink and am sitting down.

Just wanted to update about my day since my last post.

That first leg that we were supposed to just dead head on, we ended up operating and the only reason was a total fluke.

The crew that brought the aircraft into YVR was schedule to operate the flight back to YWG then sit for 3.5 hours to dead head back to YVR to go to the hotel.

They suggested that we operate the flight and they would just go to the hotel and be done for the day.

SWEET!  That would mean that since we had to go anyway; we now would get paid for going.

Took some time to get it all switched over but this now added 2.5 hours of credit to my schedule for the month.

OK so here is where the day got crazy.

The flight was full of people that were heading to YWG for some Conservative party convention/meeting/get-together.  They were so crazy! It was near impossible to move around the cabin to take care of our other passengers and do our inflight service.¹

We, as a crew, had a wicked time hanging out in the food court at the airport in YWG and laughing our asses off, having of course the typical inappropriate conversations we usually do.

The flight from YWG to YEG was pretty uneventful except for the fact that our inbound aircraft was late because just as they reached the runway in YOW they had to turn around to remove 3 unruly passengers.²

HOWEVER!

The flight from YEG to YYZ was not without excitement either.

Had a really sexy dude flirt with me; this was the first time a dude that I find really hot was flirting with me in my entire career.  I constantly am asked if dudes flirt with me or hit on me or give me their numbers while I am working - simply the answer is "no".  It doesn't happen. It has never happened.

Some stuff kind of happened and I kind of got to see the part of a man that turns me on the most while he was taking his sweat shirt off, and his jeans were riding low.

Anyway enough of that - I did my best to take care of him as it was very obvious he was very tired and just wanted to get home - I know all to well what that is like, even though he is a hot dude I also thought he was really cool and funny and the one thing that really impressed me was that he was very respectful.

Anyway, at the end of the flight he stopped me as I was heading back to my jump seat he stopped me to thank me for taking care of him, then he told me he was a really nervous flyer but that this flight was a breeze for him.

That was a HUGE compliment.

Then he pulled me in closer and said to me, "I wish I didn't have a girlfriend because I wanna be all over ya..."

I ran back into him outside while I was waiting for my shuttle to bring my tired ass downtown, we chatted, had a smoke and then he asked me how he can be on my flight again when he has to head back.  Wow, was I ever flattered.

Anyway, he knows how to find me - so we will see what happens - I won't be holding my breath but hey if it happens it would be cool.

Now here is the part where I think it really gets good - and I am really going to have to paraphrase it here, as best as I can, as it could get monotonous.

I had to deal with a grown woman, 32 weeks pregnant with child number 2, act like an 8 year old.

So here is a point form break down of what happened during our second service when I got to her row...

• Would you care for anything else?
• I am okay thank you but I have 2 questions for you.
• OK are they easy questions?
• I hope so, first how much longer left for the flight and would you tell whoever is behind me to stop bumping my seat. ((she is of course reclined))
• OK, however, do you realise that the person that is bumping your seat is a lap held infant that is sitting on mom's lap³
• I don't care just tell them to stop.
• OK I will do my best, I lean back over and look at the little baby⁴ "Hey there Noodle, would you do me a favour and stop hitting the lady's seat in front of you, she says it is very annoying and that she is fed up"

Well this totally set the mom off and she started getting lippy and then an argument started and now I had to be a referee.  I know had 2 grown women acting like kids.  Well I got the mom to stop but the other woman went off on a tangent on me.

One of the things I did ask here was why she didn't approach the issue earlier in the flight on her own with the people behind her or ask to be moved as there were NUMEROUS empty seats on the plane that she could move to.

Well that set her off, "I paid for THIS seat and I demand respect."

OK this is where I tuned out and just let her rant.⁵

In her rant she said she was cold and sick, so I reached in the bin directly over her head and handed her a couple blankets.  Her reply, "I don't want any blankets!!"

OK so she just wants to bitch! Ya like I have time for that.

She continues.

When she is done I said to her, "I did what you asked, you spoke to me with nothing but contempt and in a snarky tone and I am not here for that so unless you want something to drink, we are done."

She didn't want anything else so I moved on.

The 2 dudes sitting beside here were pissing themselves laughing.

The guy sitting right beside here was obviously traveling with the guy beside him as he leaned over and said in French, "I hope she doesn't mind if I have a Diet Pepsi."

I pretended to not understand but damn I was killing myself on the inside.

Gave the rest of the crew the info on the "event" and we moved on. The lady did say she was going to write in, like that scares me! If she does, I am looking forward to that phone call from management!

Anyway made it home in record time; but now that I have put this together, while catching up on email and other messages, it has taken me an hour and I now have been up for 19 hours - I gotta sleep.

Night peeps!

1. Later when I ran into a few other FAs in YWG I learned that they experienced the same thing with the same people from other cities↩
2. oddly enough these were 3 aides to a very high government official↩
3. my thought is how hard can a baby hit a seat with its head while facing mom and NOT CRY, to really disturb this woman↩
4. sorry no idea if it is a boy or a girl but I use my pet name for all babies and I say...↩
5. Get off the cross honey someone needs the wood↩
