Oh and it has been the reverse after I split my trousers. Flying in my pants with the hostie mending them in the back. She got a big hug and a kiss for that.
Ha...
I remember in CPH once, sewing the pants of the FO because he had split them getting off the crew bus, being that we were on a minimum rest night stop, I waited outside his room whilst he took them off (we were on the same corridor) and took them back in the morning when I was going down to check out do he could put them on before coming downstairs.
My reward was seeing him in his pants... Being a new, young FO, it was more pleasant that I was expecting.
