Am I thinking of another incident? I seem to remember that there were 3, if not 4, pilots on the flight deck . . . ?
Jump to postI haven't experienced this in quite a while, but I remember back in the 1980's, it seemed fairly common on international flights. I always assumed it was because a good number of passengers on that flight were glad to be back home after . . . a week, two weeks, .. . . .
Jump to postDidn't Continental experiment with serving Big Macs for a while in the '70's? I seem to remember something like that. This was in the days of the half-golden tail.

You said you came from a military family. If you're embarrassed by the flight attendant's false assumption, consider it a tribute to your family, even though a bit indirectly!
