It would have been great if one of them had piped up with, "OMG! You're one of the DBs we heard about!"

Asked the newbie if I could take a look at his phone... Took out the battery and gave the phone back to him. Told Junior, if he was a good little doobie, he'd get his battery back after the last flight of the day.

Who wouldn't want to be a fly on the wall if these two guys were to ever fly together?

But it wasn't Alaska. Huh. Imagine that.

Oh, and by the way, it's uncool to quote somebody and change the quote without some indication like, "I fixed it for you." I nominate YOU as TOTD.

Is there a jet that you can physically remove the tiller from one side and put it on the other side?

In many ways, I think FA training is quite more intense than our training. They have way more written tests to pass than we do. We at least know what to expect. And if they fail, they are shown the door. Or at least only one other chance is given.

I missed that TOS? Please show me or post where it states in the forum TOS that "it's uncool to quote somebody and change...".

No, but some jets have a tiller on both sides.
