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...."

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
