and he looked pretty shocked when I said, "No thanks, I
don't know how you fly!" Bob Fry wrote: Whoa! Aren't there other ways of getting out of a risky flight?? You know, think back to your dating days..."oh, I can't go out with you then, I'm cleaning out my cat's litter box that night..." Or was it only me? It would have been different if I kind of knew this guy or knew others who know him. I'd only seen him at the airport once before ... he pulled up in his car to talk with me (translation: interrupt) while I was preflighting. I was courteous and stopped for a few minutes to talk, even though I don't interrupt others when I see them preflighting, especially people I don't even know. When he walked up the second time, and just ASSUMED that because we'd talked once, I would go with him-- "SO, when are we going flying??"--I could have made a nicer-sounding excuse, but my deliberate curt response hopefully conveyed that just because we had one "good morning, nice day isn't it?" conversation doesn't mean that I'm going to climb into an airplane with what is still, when you think about putting your life in their hands, a TOTAL STRANGER. Again, it's a no-brainer that you don't take *car* rides from total strangers ... why are airplane rides any different? |
