It ain't just FAs.
Retired AF ring knocker O-6 in the other seat. Six days of assurances that "THEY" have already agreed on the ways and means of devaluing our net worth by more than 50%, replacing the dollar as the reserve currency, switching to all-digital monetary transactions, and other assorted dystopian future predictions.
Like all good yarns, there were several kernels (see what I did there?) of plausibility sprinkled among his tale....
No mention of annexing the Great White North however.

All of which is fact, not conspiracy.

Flew with a retired O-6 who, among other equally out-there stories, claimed that modern technological developments only occurred because we discovered alien tech at Roswell which enables us to "grow" microprocessors today.
He also had political conspiracies to go around, you can probably guess the drift of those, but I don't want to derail this thread already..

Right about here I knew where this was going. I mean we have some real dozies on our side of the door but sometimes I wonder what the education level is of many FAs.
My favorite was the one who was concerned I was a terrorist and activated the "terrorist contingency plans" when I offered to help fix a door latch. Commuting from Japan "in uniform" no less. I kid you not, I stopped by the fore galley because a 1st class pax complained they couldn't close the little door to their "suite". I was in uniform standing in line for the bathroom, so they asked me for help. When I spoke with the lead FA in the front galley she grew concerned that a pilot "in uniform" who earlier she let up into the flight deck to check in with the Captain was asking questions about how to close a 1st class passenger door on the little half height cubical. Somehow she jumped to the conclusion that a pilot in uniform asking about a little door latch on a passenger seat in first class equated to an attempted hijack.
I went to the bathroom on my way back to my seat. When I came out the front galley was barred with drink carts and I was "escorted" to my seat.
It's not rolling coal level of stupid but its pretty high up there.

Backroom deal brewing... AAL/UAL and JBLU/ALK/DAL mergers to be announced when Biden appoints new SEC chief. The AAL/UAL is backed by Chinese dark money bitcoin in the custody of Hunter. Interweb response on a financial site, not a crew van, but still entertaining. BTW, Q sent me. Where we go...
