Galley Gossip: Pilot sexually harassed by a passenger! {Gadling}
Oct 28th 2011 1:07AM I think this is a fun story, however, I think Sexual Harassment always has to be taken seriously and frowned on. Even if I knew the person doing this, I would not find it at all acceptable. I suspect the same would be true for most people. My personal space is mine, if you violate it, be prepared.

Galley Gossip: Elbow attacks and armrest wars (the battle continues) {Gadling}
Oct 14th 2011 2:22AM I once played "elbow wars" with a guy most of the way from San Francisco to Boston, we never uttered a word, nor did we make eye contact, but we continued to ram and jab each others elbows until one would knock the other off, claiming a silent victory, for a brief instance. It all came to end when the "other" man, got up to use the lav, and I decided it was Game Over and I flipped up the armrest-Yeah take that Elbow man!
Galley Gossip: 10 Smart travel tips from women around the world {Gadling}
Apr 6th 2010 10:22PM OMG! I love #8, it's so true! I fly across country once a month, even if I have no reason to, I pick a city and GO! Sometimes it's just for one night. It's a fun way to get away, and I always seem to have the most interesting experiences on those trips.
Galley Gossip: 3 reasons flight attendants won't allow passengers to switch seats in flight {Gadling}
Mar 20th 2010 5:22PM I was recently on a flight, where a passenger did not get upgraded, but his wife and child did, the flight had 3 open seats in first. The man approached the F/A and she said, I'm not allowed to upgrade you, only the gate agent is, so after she closes the door, just come up and sit in one of the open seats. I was kind of surprised.
Galley Gossip: The Bachelor - airline employees, spouses & why Vienna is perfect for Jake {Gadling}
Feb 9th 2010 12:15AM Well after tonight's show, my vision for Jake has changed a bit, I agree with your theories, but Vienna is too immature. Gia's accent and voice alone would drive me to jump off a cliff, but Jake seems to like her, and she might be tough enough to handle the lifestyle. Tenley, is sweet, but I think her mother scared Jake off.
Galley Gossip: Special requests, two cubes of ice & a man's pair of pants {Gadling}
Jan 29th 2010 11:25AM What would be perfect, is a pic of you standing in the aisle of a 757 holding a pair of slacks, with an annoyed look on your face, waiting to hand them off! LOL!!!!
Galley Gossip: A flight attendant responds to Senator Schumer's outburst {Gadling}
Dec 17th 2009 10:58PM I agree with CBLOCK2. I was recently on a flight when a flight attendant was saying that someone had snatched her newspaper, which she later found stuffed in her jump seat. However, she went on to say how each day passengers seem to get worse and worse, she announced this to the entire first class cabin as she was doing pre-departure beverages. I think it's important to realize that flight attendants are NOT victims, anyone who works in a service industry or with people, deal with disrespect and harsh personalities. I'm a nurse and was kicked in the head for not bringing a man ice last night, Imagine if that happened to a flight attendant, we'd NEVER hear the end of it, right?
I'm sure this senator was a frequent flyer, so I'm sure he knew the rules, and that would probably explain why is phone was not off while the forward door was open. Perhaps he felt provoked by this flight attendant, since she was actually going against the rules. While I don't condone calling anyone names, sounds like they were both in the wrong.

Galley Gossip - Miss Oklahoma, Pop Rocks, a ripped skirt & other strange things on planes {Gadling}
Nov 26th 2009 10:13PM And about kids... the little darlings. I think ticket agents should weight the toddlers upon check-in, and administer the appropriate dose of Dimatap. Bye the time they get to the plane, they are limp, docile little creatures. Peaceful flights for all.
LOL!!!!!!!!! PERFECT!
