They're only human beings. Still go to the bathroom (on the plane sometimes) still rip ass in bed, still wake up with morning breath. Its a problem in this country that famous people are idolized and treated as sub-human just because they can act, or hit a small white ball with a metal stick.

How would you feel if you used your talent and experience to negotiate weather, land in a strong cross wind, and deal with the ramp rush hour at TEB only for one of those Kardashians to spit out their gum on the carpet and hand you their crocodile skin purse?

Mario Andretti, Rick Mears ...very friendly. Mears rolled up on a
massive motorcycle that people who know bikes were very
excited about. Louie Anderson, having a bad day I guess.

Toby Maguire. Nice guy, but terrified of flying. Took some convincing that the airplane was safe. Kind of Ironic, who would've thought spiderman was scared of flying.

Nothing in this little banter about celebrities that should get anyone’s panties in a knot.

It’s not guarded information and does not amount to a hill of beans. Let’s get off our high-horse and try to not act so pompous in throwing out threats that you would terminate folks etc for revealing such personal and valuable information.

Gawd! Try to find something worthwhile to worry about in life.

There were so many that the company had a desk in LA just for the "celebs" that would escort them to the aircraft, smooze them and then meet them in NY and escort them to their limos. Most were quiet but usually friendly.

Frequent flyers I had: Larry King, who was very nice and quite knowledgeable about aircraft; Jamie Lee Curtis, one of our favorites for being a really nice person; Senator Ted Kennedy, very taken with himself; Madonna; her bodyguard would not let anyone get near or talk to her, Bo Derek; my all time favorite as she was so nice and twice as good looking in person. Very genuine.

Funniest: Without a doubt, Martin Short. He actually got up and helped the flight attendants serve dinner from the galley while he "put on a show". Everyone is First Class was howling with laughter.

G'Day Mates. Have a funny day and smile
