I was standing around waiting for the non-arrival of crew transport one day, looking at the luggage, and looking at this new very beautiful lady who was in our airline's new role as a 'Fleet Director'. This was 747 fleet for a Big Airline.
Her role almost made me humble, as I was a mere Pilot....lol.
This was the new name for basically 'flight attendant/cabin crew manager' and this was one of her first flights in this new role. Basically, a largely ground/office-based role. Was I, as pilot, (not saying more) on the Boeing
747 fleet some sort of 'minion'? A 'Director' on board our flights.....OMG!!!
As we waited, staring at our crew luggage for many looong minutes, I chatted with her for a bit and then asked if she could identify her luggage. She eventually did this. Then I posited a 'bet' to her, having looked at her standard '3-digit' combination lock/luggage.
I asked her that if I could open her suitcase/luggage within 30 seconds, would her 'Fleet Director' department find it within their budget to buy the whole crew a round of drinks (and if not, would she pay from her own pocket)?
She agreed. I think she paid from her own pocket.
Lock combination by reply, please. (Duuuuh)....lol
