  • I GOT FLOGGED!

    Something very interesting happened to me this morning. I got flogged. And I’m surprised to say it didn’t hurt, because I REALLY REALLY REALLY thought it was going to hurt. Not only did it NOT hurt, but it felt good, REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD! So much so, I wouldn’t mind…

  • 17 THINGS TO DO WHEN TRAPPED AT THE AIRPORT

    In case you haven’t read a newspaper in the last few days, or seen the news, or spoken to a displaced friend or relative sleeping on a cot inside an airport terminal in a strange city next to an even stranger stranger, things are a mess. American Airlines cancelled 595…

  • Another One Bites the Dust!

    Fuel is high, tickets are cheap, and airlines are disappearing left and right. It was only a matter of time, though, was it not? I mean what else can you think of that now costs less, besides airline tickets, than it did 50 years ago? Nothing. Not one thing. Which…

  • Jet Pilot Music Video

  • PASSENGER OF THE MONTH

    GENO Occupation? Cat-herder, fire-fighter, problem-solver, go-fetch boy and diplomat; Business Development Miles flown this year? 26,044 Last flight? SAN to JFK Check it or Carry on?

  • Computers, Shoes, Liquids & NIPPLE RINGS?

    First computers and shoes, then liquids and gels, and now nipple rings – they must all be removed before walking through security. Even if the only way to remove them is with a pair of pliers. I’m not joking. Even I was surprised to learn that TSA really does keep…

  • YOU KNOW YOU’RE A FLIGHT ATTENDANT WHEN…

    If you’re a flight attendant, you’ve probably already seen this joke. If you’re not lucky enough to live the glamorous life, and you’re actually thinking about picking up trash at 35,000 feet for a living, you may not want to send in that application for the job just yet. YOU…

  • Eat Pray Love

    Last month I found myself sitting at gate 5, waiting for the flight to Dallas, eating a cheese sandwich (from Cosi of course), while simultaneously reading a book, when an older woman sat down on the tan pleather seat beside me. And I mean right beside me. Which, at first,…
