Bet you thought some ad executive came up with this one!

I know a flight attendant who provided some details to life in the clouds, I always thought she was pretty happy for a pastor’s kid....

And if I might add, don’t worry about the active imagination; a mind is a terrible thing to waste, so keep on exercising it.

Don't mistake camaraderie for anything other than what it is. Flight crews are tight becuase they have to be, it's the nature of that biz. Usually they're so damn tired at the end of a long day of flying, there's no energy for shenanigans.

On a somewhat similar note, I do know of two ladies that are flight attendants/escorts, bringing new meaning to the term, coffee, tea or me. MfSD.

Read my book.  It validates your suspicions.

P. S.  The subject line of this post is the title of the book.

Re:Pilots, Airline People & Wild Sex Fantasies....

I worked for an airline! Why do you think they call it the "Cockpit"?lol, not to mention the joke about Flying mattresses(F/A's) But Im sure its not true for most, just some

It happens a lot.  Usually not orgies, but lots of partying and sometimes sex on longer layovers is recognized as being a long-standing tradition in the business.

The Wall Street Journal did a piece a few years back about certain floors at certain airport hotels that are widely recognized throughout the industry as being the airline equivalent of frat row.  The hotels just turn a blind eye and make sure that only airline crews who request it are put on that floor.  I once stayed at one of them in Newark.  I made my way to the "party floor" and had quite a good time.

But even without much wild partying or sex, there is a lot of "letting off steam" on layovers.  Remember, many of these people are away from home for days at a time, and frequently have pretty stressful jobs.  They will tend to get together and let loose.

There used to be a bar outside Narita (Tokyo) airport known as "the trailers," or something like that.  It was in the middle of a big parking lot adjacent to the airport hotels.  There wasn't much else way out by the airport.  The bar was basically a bunch of big-rig trailers that had been parked adjacent to each other, joined together and turned into a large bar.  The owner had painted colored lines from the bar to each of the hotels, so you could just follow your hotel's "color" all the way home.  Crawling home along the colored lines was not unheard of.  (Because of the timing of flights, 2 night layovers were quite common, so you could really go wild the first night.)

I just recently got my pilot's certificate but nothing like that happened to me yet. Mind you, in my little Cessna there is barely enough room to take your jacket off let alone your panties

Brings new meaning to flying "united".
