This is something that almost never happens.
While flying alone to Flag and Banner’s North Miami office, the flight attendant pointed out all the seats in first class were occupied by women. Now granted, it was not a very big plane, an American Eagle. But still, I felt kind of proud and thought maybe my blog of last week about women’s vulnerability was a little paranoid, but maybe not. For in my lifetime, we have come a long way, baby. Women with money traveling alone! Thank you Gloria Steinem for your work in making college scholarships and job opportunities available to women….Lenny Kravitz says it best: “American Woman, take a look at me-e”
In this proud moment I had a big desire to take a picture of all the ladies, but thought better of it. Etiquette is to ask permission before posting strangers’ pics online. And not to dish on my own gender, but womenfolk can be kinda testy so I was a little wary of asking the group if I could snap a picture and use it in my blog. Again, maybe I was being a little paranoid.
But anyway, I acquiesced to my fear and decided to brag about the experience without taking anyone’s picture. Hence my creative graphic department reproduced this same airplane’s seating arrangement with fake people facing the cockpit (I had to get that word “cockpit” in somewhere).
As they say in flight school … This is a simulation.
