Perhaps you weren't flying back in the '60s and '70s...

I'm sorry, I didn't want to make is sound like you were telling a story -- I started flying in the 70s and I remember some of that (I didn't fly much).

But, you have to admit that your post, with some details, would have made a great Penthouse Letter to the Editor with that same opening... ;)

fair enough. My own one experience (as wild as it as) was mild to the sort of things I heard from girls I knew who were stews. Many of them I knew looked at it as sowing their wild oats and travelling while someone actually paid them to have fun for a few years between college and settling down to suburban married life. Acquaintances who were pilots in those days told similarly debauched tales. The airlines semi-tolerated the shennanigans as long as it didn't get out of hand because it added to the glamor of air travel. My friends who flew for a few years, a few of whom were on the wild side, most of whom weren't very wild, all say they wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
