Since the dawn of man, all humans have known someone who had a friend who was a flight attendant. Here, now, I am that friend.Maiden Voyage
During training, the instructors were doubly busy preparing for the arrival of the new boat, the CRJ 900. This is a two-flight attendant, 70 seat monster, brimming with bells and whistles. We only have nine of them in the fleet, and though everyone wants to work them (because they are clean and the lavs don't smell like poo), it's frustrating because the galley is twice as large, arranged differently, and the few compartments that are the same house different things.
Today we got number ten, and yours truly helmed the first flight. We didn't break champagne over the nose, but some guy in first class dumped orange juice all over himself, so it was sorta the same thing. And in each galley, the tail number of the plane is etched into the cup compartment door (because it's hard to get out and check the number at 35,000 feet), and we got to do that. So now I'm an indelible part of aircraft N810's history.

hey you might want to remove the reference to the tail number. You just said who you work for.
Do you know a FO by the name of Jason Jensen? He's a friend of mine
Yeah, I totally did. Thanks for the catch!
Never heard of Jensen. But I would totally tell you if I did.
