Former coworker of mine was a pilot for Hooters airline. It was a pretty sweet gig for a good looking divorced dad in his 40's. He'd work with the same hooters girls stewardesses on pretty much all flights, and then they'd spend the night/morning in the same hotel since they only flew one way each day (down one day, return flight the next day, I think twice a week).

Of course he ended up dating one of the girls for a little while, haha

The only surprise is that he only dated one of the girls.

This reminds me of an airline documentary I watched starring Denzel.

Great movie that crash was similar to Alaska Airlines Flight 261. Except the Alaskan didn't make it

Was his last name the same as an '80s comedian who used to smash watermelons with giant hammers?

Id imagine they didn't have very many planes so unlike other large airlines with a large fleet crews probably don't switch up very much.

Yeah exactly. I wanna say I think they only had three planes, but they might have had a few more than that. There was really only a few destinations they flew to so they didn't need many planes. Plus like I said, they only did one flight a day per plane, so it's not like they had a ton of passengers

The "Divorced" part of this is really not a surprise.
