Apparently you haven’t flown on US airlines in a while. Most Flight Attendants are homo guys or old women. Yes, there’s the occasional young, hot thing, but they are usually on the feeders and get burned out quickly.

That is pretty much it. They needed that plane elsewhere otherwise they would cancelled the flight. I was on a NW flight out of Minn, MN once and there were very few passengers. We taxied out on the run way past the de-icing stations - which I thought was odd. Then the pilot came on the intercom and said folks we are having a mechanical problem with the plane. We taxied back to the gate and within a minute or 2 he tells us that we will need to de-plane and make new arrangements. Sure enough we all got booked on another flight 2.5 hours later that was 95% full.

The cockpit was only 6 feet from my seat and my view of the instrument panel was mostly unobstructed.

Forty-five years ago my girlfriend and I took a Grumman seaplane from Long Beach to Catalina Island for the day. It had about nine seats for passengers, but they also put a passenger (me) in the copilot's seat. Now that was fun!

...I’d have tried to start an orgy with the hot stewardesses.

Hey you sexist, they're FLIGHT ATTENDANTS, and about a quarter of them are male homosexuals! Get with it!

I’ve never been on a seaplane and I’d love to be aboard one taking off from the Niagra River just before going over the Horseshoe Falls.

As a Delta Diamond frequent flier I’d get upgraded to 1st 99% of the time—nothing to brag about really but I do like the extra legroom. Had an African-American flight attendant once who served me coffee. As she handed it over she said, “Careful—it’s hot, black, and smokin’... just like me.”

Yikes! Do they actually do that? That seaplane roundtrip was indeed a lot of fun. They still have them, although they've updated the planes.

We visited Niagara on vacation in July 1960 (I was 11) and arrived just a day or two after a young child fell in and was grabbed and rescued by a bystander just before going over the falls. I've been leery of heights and edges and precipices ever since--they give me the willies, the heebie-jeebies, the creeps.

“[K]inda sorry” that they still provide the service, that they’ve updated the planes, that the kid was rescued, or that I don’t enjoy heights?

I was one of 3 passengers on a Delta flight

With my luck they both would have been fat and my seat would have been right between them.......
