For every story of people finding their perfect match miles above the Earth’s surface, there are countless (and we do mean countless), stories of sexual assault and uncomfortable situations that can occur midflight.
Nevertheless, Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines decided to hand out napkins encouraging passengers to give out their phone numbers to fellow fliers after the complimentary drinks were served. Both Coca-Cola and Delta are now apologizing for this marketing mistake.
“Be a little old school. Write down your number and give it to your plane crush. You never know…” one napkin read.
“Because you’re on a plane full of interesting people and hey … you never know,” another read, leaving space to write down a name and number.

I dunno, seems pretty voluntary and harmless to me...
"...old school plane crush..."
OH MY GOD. Someone thinks you are looking good/interesting, and they hand you their number in case you feel the same.
What a nightmare!!
Giving your name and number to total strangers. What a great idea.
No big deal-——just toss it if you don’t like it.

Having a napkin in an airborne plane that says “plane crush” is not the best way to instill confidence in the pilots or airline.
Not for a man.
Thats an invitation to a sexual harassment lawsuit.

I had one of those MT row flights from Tokyo to SF.
Slept most of the way —— ! Those days are long gone.
What the heck is wrong with this country when a stupid but harmless marketing gag like this ends up with a litany of apologies? “Delta and Coke are encouraging sexual harassment,” seriously? Handing a stranger on a plane your name and number on a cocktail napkin may or may not be a good idea, but what sort of recipient is traumatized by something like that? People need to toughen up and stop be so freakin’ sensitive. This country is now a pale, pathetic imitation of the country that won WW2.
“My idea of perfect airplane travel is an empty row and no fellow passengers speaking to me at all.”
Once. Reno to Chicago.
It was awesome.

Plane crush. Plane crash. Not a great expression.
10 points!
PC liberal nonsense has ruined everything
Half hour before airborne 10 mg Diazepam.
Business class is better than first, Imo.
Foam ear plugs.
Bose over the ear noise canceling headphones.
Blindfold.
Large beach towel serving as a blanket draped over my head.
Seat belt fastened and visible.
Forty minutes after airborne 10 mg Ambien.
I could see those flying Toxic Masculines taking this the wrong way. Where’s the Jillette ad agency when you need them?
I had a nearly empty backhaul 747 from Chicago to Tokyo via Anchorage in 1976. There were about ten paying passengers. Wow...it was incredible.
