Well, it’s certainly a different attitude. Last flight I was on, after the TSA guy stuck a finger up my butt, the flight attendants made us roll over, sit up, and beg before they tossed bags of pretzels at us. Said it was a “security measure”. How wuz I to know?

The junior flight attendant is probably a young cutie. I’m available to console her and help her get over this terrible incident if necessary.

Ohkaaaay, but the flight attendant is a “him” according to the article.

"What has become of the Jr. Flight Attendant?"

If he was smart, he'd go on tour with Steven Slater at the MileHigh Text Club.
