They're called stewardesses.

Everyone murmured in agreement because let’s face it, if you didn’t see this turn of events coming you are oblivious to the most basic principles of professional aviation.

Seriously though, he wasn’t lying when he gave you those numbers. And to imply that you knew better in anything other than “nothing lasts forever” terms is as believable as Kim Jong Un’s golf handicap.
It's like the Navy detailers....they didn't lie, the truth changed.....overnight!

LOL . I think that’s what they told all the USAir guys . The same person that told your friend that info in his class is probably flying Rubber dog **** out of Hong Kong

This is like the 3rd time you have used this line in the last month. Get a new line, you’re ruining Top Gun for me.
