Many moons ago, as a frequent flyer SLF, on boarding the aircraft there
was no demand at the door to view the BC. And when much later it became standard practice to be asked to produce your BC I thought sod it I know where I'm going to sit and complain why do I have to show my BC fer Christ's sake, just bring me a drink after take off.

Glamgirl, LCD, JSL and others, I was your worst nightmare! I pay your wages and if I say jump, I expect the answer, how high! Probably made Skipness look polite.

Then I grew up, mellowed somewhat, hopefully became a bit wiser. By chance I found Pprune, read the comments and have a far better insight about the job that CC do and what they have to put up with.

Talk about conversion, probably only bettered by Paul on the road to Damascus. I smile, say good morning, show my BC and actually pay attention to the safety briefing.

One day I hope to meet some of the CC posters in flight, I'm easily recognised, I'm the outrageously polite one!
