After leaving the C130 fleet I joined BA as an F/E on the B747.
One day, pre-9/11, I was happily sitting in the 'best seat in the house' when a very attractive stewardess entered the flight deck with an, equally attractive, female pax.
The female pax, after making some of the usual remarks (isn't it small in here? Do you know what ALL of these buttons do?) then turned to the cabin crew lady and asked 'Do the cabin crew sleep with the pilots?'
To which she replied 'Yes, but they stay awake with the flight engineers.'
And I remember thinking 'I'm not surprised, it takes a long time to fully explain the B747 hydraulic system'.......................
