and so it begins...

oh pilots... and so it begins.

So my bff's boyfriend, Andy, was in the airport last week for his flight to Dallas. I had just gotten in from Indy and was headed to the crew lounge when I learned via facebook that he was in the airport. Naturally, I wanted to meet up with him! We decided to meet on A Concourse (a little foreign to me since I usually am on C and D) So I ride up the escalator and start looking around for Andy. As I'm rolling around the food court looking for him, this young pilot walks up to me and says "hey, you look lost." I smiled and relied, "oh, I'm just looking for my friend." Without hesitation the pilot said "well I think you found him." gggaahhhhhh typical pilot one liner. I'm sure there will be more to follow!

update: I got my first pilot note! About a week ago I was preboarding (just preflighting the plane and boarding passengers until the real crew got to the plane, it helps keep flights on time if a connecting plane is late) anyway, I was on the plane for less than 15 minutes, but enough time to offer the flight deck water. The first officer joking said he needed a bottle of water, a gin and tonic, his laptop, and a set of golf clubs. I laughed and said, a hybrid? (golf term for those non-golfers out there) Then the real crew arrived and I peaced out. Little did I know, I had left my announcement book on board. When I checked my mailbox the next day, my book was there with a note inside. It had the pilots name and phone number and beneath it said, how about that hybrid? hhahahaha. i guess for a note it was pretty cute, but I honestly could not pick this guy out in a lineup. I wouldn't have remembered his name if it were not written on the note, but for sure don't remember what he looks like! ha!

Im on my flight from Orlando to Buffalo and this youngish guy gets on the plane and smiles big at me. He then looks at me really seriously and said "Im really scared." I gave him a sympathetic smile and then he asked, "Will you hold my hand?" hahahaha
then later when I was walking through making sure everyone had their seatbelt on, he stopped me and pointed to an empty seat next to him and said, "look, I even saved you a seat. Sure you wont hold my hand?" gahhhhh

On my last leg from Orlando back to Atlanta we had a big group of soccer players. score! Very cute, young (early 20's) guys who were all pumped up because they had just finished a tournament earlier that day. So they are all boarding the plane and a group of them look at me, then look at each other and then in unison start singing that new Sean Kingston song..." Somebody call 911- shorty fire burring up the dance floor! woahhh!" it was hilarious. Its the first time Ive been sing to on a plane. :)

Later that flight, I got a note passed to me from a passenger. It said "Kate, do you have a boyfriend?" I laughed and just nodded yes (just to avoid any awkwardness!) it was funny!

oh boys....
