Your Flight Attendant Career will bring you many memorable moments. Today was a little different than most, besides having a famous athlete on board, I had a group of day-campers, from Brooklyn. We had a group of about fifty Day Campers ranging from 13 to 16 years old.

In Flight Attendant School you will be briefed about “Special Passengers”. In time you will be able to read what frame of mind the “Special Passenger” is in. Is he approachable, does he want his privacy, etc…. You will become more comfortable with each situation as your Flight Attendant Career continues.

Mr. Agassi was very pleasant to the Flight Crew. However, it seemed that he may have wanted some privacy, and quiet time.

The flight took off on time, and we started our in flight service. I met this young man that was part of the Day Camp. He reminded me of a 13 year old Sly Stallone “Yo” he greets me with. I ask him if I can get him something to drink.

He reaches in his pants pocket and pulls out a dollar bill. Quickly I explain to him that the drinks are complementary. He looks up to me and with his “Rocky” accent; he asks me if Andre Agassi was sitting in first class. I reply, “Yes”, and again ask him again if he would like a drink.

Little “Rocky” proceeds to pull out a dollar bill and states, “My friend George Washington would like to have Andre Agassi’s autograph.” Before I could say a word he pulls out another dollar bill and says, “and his friend George Washington would like to have Andre Agassi’s autograph.” I’m standing in front of this kid thinking to myself, is this kid nuts or what? Before I can say a word he yanks out his third dollar bill and repeats the same line, “and his friend George Washington would also like the autograph.”

I thought about it for a second and replied, “Son, the only chance you’ve got, is if Ben Franklin and ten of his friends are camping out in those pockets.”
