I said they were burly...I didn't say they were straight.

You need to fly more or fly a classier carrier! :-)

I had a very pretty young French FA land in my lap on a flight Saturday
from Paris to Amsterdam on my return to the states. I've never in 23
years of business flying on the airlines ever hit turbulence like that.
I was just about to take a croissant out of the basket she was holding
when the bottom dropped out. We went slightly negative G for probably a
couple of seconds. She started to float towards the ceiling and I
grabbed her wrist and elbow as she was trying to grab the food cart.
Then the next thing I know we are slammed the other direction and food,
napkins, etc. from the cart are flying around like the cart exploded and
the FA is sitting on my lap. Fortunately, this happened about 30
seconds before I would have had a cup of coffee in my hand! Two of my
colleagues got doused. One had a cup of water and said a column of
water rose out of the cup and went higher than his head before coming
back down all over his lap. Another was sitting by a lady with a cup of
hot chocolate and hers went up in the air the same way and dropped on
his shoulder.

I had to chuckle when a few minutes later the Frenchman sitting beside
me leaned over and said in his best English, "That sure beats a cup of
wine in lap." I had to agree. :-)

I figure we either hit CAT (it was clear sky at 29,000 feet) or crossed
through the wake of a larger airplane. The captain never said anything
other than to apologize, but that was the only significant bump on the
entire flight. I've hit similar turbulence in a 182, but I've never
pulled negative Gs that long before in an airplane that size (it was an
A320 I believe).

I had a similar experience, on a 747, on the way from LAX to Columbus.
Instead, my prize was almost a stack of dirty supper dishes. The stew
caught it, thank God!

I recall that it was somewhere over the Rockies.

I've seen plenty of nice looking female FA's. The burly ones always
seem to be women!

I remember when "Stews" were all in their 20's and IIRC, had to quit the
cabin duties when they hit 30(??).

Last time I flew, the "FA" was in her 20's....her 120's (I swear).

There are many asian carriers that aren't as "politically correct" as the US
carriers. As part of the interview process for Cathay Pacific for example,
they actually make the applicants hike-up their skirts to view their legs.
