FLIGHT ATTENDANT: “Excuse me, will you need to rush off the plane once we land?” ME: “Yes, I’ve got a tight connection, and I’m already cutting it close.” FLIGHT ATTENDANT: “In that case, the captain would like a word with you after we land.” ME: “The captain? Why? Can’t he just pass the message along now?” FLIGHT ATTENDANT: “I’m sorry, but no. He insists on speaking to you face to face. I know you’re pressed for time, but you’ll want to hear this. You’d regret leaving without talking to him.” W
