Thank you Ralph Fiennes …

First of all, on behalf of all of us men who have to fly for work (either twice a year or twice a week), thank you Ralph Fiennes for boning your flight attendant on flight QF123 Darwin (DRW) to Mumbai (BOM). After all that’s been written-up in the papers in the past few days I can only imagine that the incident has been noted by all the major airlines’ HR departments and then forwarded to all their cabin staff and also attached would be each airline’s relevant guidelines on the matter.

This is bad because it’s just gotten THAT much harder to pick-up a flight attendant.

I can only imagine now:

Me: *smiles* Thank you very much.
Hot Flight Attendant: Mr. Tanone, that is inappropriate behavior. I will have to ask you to stop smiling at me.
Me: …

Yeeesh.

You’re a freakin’ movie start for crying out loud. Did you have to pick a flight attendant and create an incident like this?! Do you realize just how much harder you’ve made life for all of us regular guys? -sigh- Furthermore, what were you thinking of? A QF flight attendant? I’d have more respect if it had been Virgin Blue. Or any of the other airlines known for their flight attendants.

Ah, whatever. In the end, you’ve made life hard for us. Thank you.

(BTW- I noted that in the articles the “mile-high club” has now become the “five mile high club”. Granted the latter is more accurate, but I’ve always thought it’s the “mile-high club” and not the “five mile high club”.)
