Galley Gossip: Enforcing rules in flight!

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Many years ago, well before all of the security rules, my husband was a DC10 captain. We were flying with my young daughter, who was quite impressed with being on his airplane. The first thing that she did was interrupt his conversation with his ticket agent friend because they started boarding passengers. She didn't want him to "get into trouble" by being late. He assured her that the plane would not leave without him. We then boarded and took our seats. He came back to the cabin and asked her if she would like to see the cockpit and sit in his chair. (I told you it was a long time ago) She got up, but wouldn't go in the cockpit and said she would wait until we reached CA. When I asked her why she wouldn't go in the cockpit she informed me that the seat belt light was on and she didn't want to get him in trouble with the "boss." I asked her who the boss was, and she informed me that it was that lady who makes everyone sit down and tells them when they can't go to the bathroom. I'm a rule enforcer, and I guess I raised one too.
