This young gal is so full of bull it's not funny. As tempting as one might think it is to 'hook up' it NEVER happens!!! That is an old myth,period. First of all, if she works for a US carrier, she would lose her job. Secondly, if she were even to suggest it, she would be hauled into the office, and her job would be threatened. She would be suspended without pay, pending a thorough investigation.

Flight priveleges hardly exist anymore. Most FA's commute to their base because it is very expensive to live in the cities where they are domiciled. With frequent flyer miles, seldom can an employee ride for free. In fact, occasionally I had to purchase tickets on other carriers to get to work.
Finally, the American flying public is ruder than any international passenger.
This article is insulting to the hard working men and women of the FA profession. NO mention of administering First Aid, or going above and beyond the call of duty to help a person in need.
