Oh! Go Boise State Broncos!

Forgot to tell you this story...

A couple weeks ago I had the entire Boise State Broncos basketball team on my flight. I felt sorry for how each one of them had to bend completely over in half just to get on the plane. They are so tall!

The isle was nothing but a sea of legs. I wondered how I was going to manage my beverage cart.

Before take off I had trouble with my jumpseat. It wouldn't click into place. I struggled with it for quite some time. I used all the muscle I had over and over again.

I started getting worried when I knew the guys would be calling me any second for "cabin secure" and I still didn't have the darn thing in place.

A few times I heard offers for help coming from the players. I was dertermined at first to do it myself. I'm such a stubborn butt.
However, I finally caved in and admitted defeat. One of the players unbuckled his seat belt and came up to the galley just before we turned onto the active runway to help me with my seat.

After a couple of trys he was able to force the latch into the locked position. Everyone clapped and I called him my hero.

Of course he asked for a free ticket. Yeah, right. You got one for me?
