My niece was the first of her family to attend college.

After graduation my wife announced with pride that Gueng had been hired as a hostess or jaoo phrap krueng bin for Nok-Khon Air. 10k/month, a uniform, a dormitory room in Bangkok, and with free travel for her family. Me included.

“Where do they fly?”

“Not airplane. Bus. VIP.” The routes served the hinterland. Khon Kaen was their #1 destination. I have yet to take a trip, but Gueng’s friends look cute in their uniforms.

During the late-70s I had several affairs with air stewardesses. Their New York residence was the Doral Hotel on Lexington Avenue. It was the height of the Sexual Revolution. They were too glamorous for this world. In the skies they were angels. I ran into one of them on a trans-America flight 3 years ago. She was in her mid-50s. My age. She laughed about the old times and even more when I asked her to help me join the Mile-High Club.

“Thanks for the compliment, but those days are over.”

Maybe for us, but a recent survey revealed that 2 out of 3 three Australian travelers are either members or wannabe-members of the infamous Mile High Club with half the 1,110 people surveyed saying they would consider a mid-flight encounter.

The rest were born-again Christians.

12% professed to scored their wings.

Not me, but I do have fantasies about flight attendants and so do most men.

Accordingly Thai TV has aired a very popular show about stewardesses called Songkhram Nang Fah or Air Hostess War depicting the sexily-clad hostesses fighting for the attentions of handsome pilots.

Not everyone is happy with this adaptation of real-life and the stewardesses’ trade union has criticized the show for portraying the members as immoral. It’s just a TV show and I’ve never seen an air hostess on Thai Air younger than 30. They regard the passengers in economy as steerage class and their beauty is trapped within this veneer of disdain. I wouldn’t join the Mile-High Club with any of them, unless I was drunk and wearing my beer goggles.

Then it’s ‘come fly with me’, because I have no problem with being a hypocrite or maa-yaa-wee.

It’s comes naturally when you’re older.

Younger too.

Least for me.
