Many moons ago, they were known as "DF's" - "Delicate flowers" as they, particularly the frequent flyers, were tended to with the utmost care and fed copious amounts of sh***.
Isn't is simply marvellous that at least this industry maintains a level of consistency despite the food still having none....Ahhh happy days...** sigh **

I understand that the good citiszens departing from Luton to their destinations in the Med are known as, The FLying Shell Suits.

May I point out that I only live near LTN and am not from it and have never flown charter from it! <img src="eek.gif" border="0">

Heehee we also have CFW's!!

For cuties we call them BOB (Best On Board) and those Frequent Flyers that were a tad on the trying side were affectionately known as Frequent Whingers.

A nickname used for some obvious pax we use is 'Britvics'.

Just imagine holding a small can of tomato juice in your hand and giving it a shake. then recheck the position and motion of you hand and arm. An apt example of of some pax.. .

Enjoy life, it's the only one you've got.
