Choosy fliers choose widebodies!

I was the Purser between Miami and San Francisco and I was amazed at the number of passengers that commented how much they love the 767-300 on this route.

All of the customers were great, although I was up to some of my old tricks as the plane climbed out of San Francisco on take-off. There was one particular gentleman staring my way everytime I glanced into the cabin. I was convinced he had me on a timer to see when his first cocktail came out. I must admit that I made a couple of not-so-nice comments about it in the galley. Wouldn’t you know that he turned out to be fantastic. He was just watching what was going on; sort of like all of us that have an interest in air transportation. I said to myself, “Gailen, straighten up your attitude!”

Some customers even said they would not have made the trip if the 757 was the only plane available. I have to wonder if widebodies put everyone in a good mood. I walked off the flight with 9 AApplause Certificates (certificates to show appreciation for excellent service) presented to me by elite AAdvantage passengers on the flight! Maybe I’ll win another 25,000 mile prize (two so far)! Unfortunately, you cannot give yourself AApplause certificates. Well, I love the 767-300, as a crew-member and as a passenger. Sometimes I feel like “Sybil”. Watch this video to see what I mean!

    OMG, I adore the 767. I scored a FC seat BOS – LAX a few weeks ago. The seat was amazing. Being able to adjust the seat meant zero seat fatigue — I could have flown for 18 hours. And the tables — so much real estate! I was in bulkhead, and the combined table space was huge. I love all the little storage cubbies. Then, when I was provided with a personal DVD player I broke my resolve to lie flat and sleep, and caught up on a couple of movies I had been wanting to see.

    There is one major problem to flying the 767: it makes all other AA aircraft business seats disappointing.
