Peter, I experienced this once when living in Morocco in the end of the 80's. A flight back from Marrakesh to Casablanca. They had a congress going on in Marrakesh and were transferring passengers from Casablanca to Marrakesh. So they went back and forth and empty from Marrakesh to Casablanca to get the next load. So we were two passengers in a B757! So I asked the FA if we could sit in First class and after conferring with the captain we were allowed to do so. The second passenger came and sit in the seat next to me and ...... didn't say a word the whole flight!?   Actually make me think of another story, flying from Casablanca to Marrakesh. The weather was so bad we deviated to Agadir. On the way we hit terrible turbulence like I never experienced before. We were all squeezing our armrests and no one said a word. Suddenly, a guy came out of the toilet, his trousers halfway his legs, making his way to his seat. The whole plane was bursting out laughing. Because it was funny? No, trust me, because we were all sooo stressed so the laughing was a release of our nerves  And I could tell you some more stories. I was so fortunate that I flew a lot because of my work. The jump seat's I took for landing ... that were the good days.  Now you need two keys and a pin code to get into the cockpit.  Happy flying, Luc |

Nice stories, Luc. I made a lot of flights myself because of my job, but the last time I even was in a cockpit was when I was a child. The most exciting things that ever happened to me on a RL flight was a go-around at CYOW (just weather related, nothing serious), and one upgrade to business class. Mind you, that was after a long flight with many delays, and with our daughter who threw up all the time. I only enjoyed the larger leg room on that flight  Cheers, Peter |
