Galley Gossip: A question about being a mother and a flight attendant

I too, fly a lot, and some of your comments are really funny, some dead on for accuracy, but one I took a teeeny bit of exception to is the pilot and backrub thing. I am married to an airline pilot. For years he always brought a box of Fannie May chocolates to the flight attendants working his trip and offered backrubs, and after hearing of an attendant being assaulted in her room, voluntarily walked the female attendants to their rooms to be sure there was no one in there. I did make him stop the back rubs about ten years ago, because I told him one of them would get the wrong idea.... Glad I did after reading your blog. Some people are genuinely nice, and my husband is one of them. He is a Captain now and still brings candy and still checks rooms, but no back rubs.
