Thanks for the instant hangover. Earplugs anyone? |

The fact that we're chatty is due to two reasons: (at least for the female variety of FA) 1) females are generally more verbal than males, 2) flight attendants actually have personalities. sorry, but I just couldn't resist.....:) |
Doesn't matter where or what time of day. Sounds like...

Agree. It is the nature of women to chat, which is why I dread our "cleaning lady day." Lovely woman, but I am NOT your girlfriend. I don't need to know about your neighbor's annoying dog, as you don't need to know about my compressor stalls the previous day. Not so sure on this one. I don't think anyone that's been in the biz for 20+ years has much of any personality left at all. :D Some women (who are aviation geeks like me) would love to hear about your compressor stall. Not so sure about the cleaning lady, though!) I've only been in the business about 5 years, so I'll get back to you in 15 years..... |

If you feel the same have your fellow pilot call your phone when you sit down in the van. Answer it then say loudly "Sorry I can't talk right now. I'm in the hotel van. I'll call you back after I check in." Works great. |

I always make sure that my headphones are at hand for the 4:30am van ride. All you're getting out of me at that time of the morning is "Good morning" and "before start checklist"... |

Not too long ago, we flew with a couple of girls that really, really enjoy flying with each other, and they had a fascinating conversation about their layover, and the (imaginative) things they did together. "Pics or it didn't happen", we said. Turns out it happened. |
