I was in the back of the 727 one time and fell asleep filling out the cruise card. Made a streak across the card with the grease pencil.

I showed it to the captain and he said, "Hell, boy, when I was back there I fell asleep one night while I was starting the #2 engine...."

This, according to the legend, is because he would have had to join the SAG on a one-day membership in order to have a speaking part in the movie, which he refused to do. So they had to show him on the screen, instead of in person. At least he's consistent.
I was an extra in the scene your mentioning and said sarcastically to another pilot, " I wonder if fred had to join the SAG." Then some office employee, also an extra, said " TN is a right to work state so he didnt have to join" Typical.

Fred also came up to the 8 pilots stupid enough to volunteer two days of work for a castaway hat and said "How much money are they paying you guys to get you to show up out here" Also typical

It is absolutely not true that he agreed to be in the movie only because all the pilots get killed.....

Well, if you can fall sleep like a horse--standing up on one leg, leaning against a wall--you can sleep on the 72.

Wasn't that pilot that washed up on the beach an actual FedEx pilot, after a week of hub turns, without makeup?:eek:
