Blog Guy, I’m a flight attendant. I hear there is a fantasy camp where those in my profession can take out our frustrations. Do you know about that?
I think you might be talking about this course. It’s supposed to be self-defense training, but I guess it might qualify as a fantasy camp for some beleaguered flight attendants, who I imagine could perform the jabs and kicks while hissing stuff like:
- “HERE is where you buckle your seatbelt!”
- “You want turbulence, I’ll SHOW you turbulence!”
- “Do you want STEWARDESS to be the last word you ever say?”
Here’s a slideshow from the course

There are a couple of things about this picture that confuse me.
1) Why is the dummy wearing boxer shorts? Do terrorists do that?
2) Are we to assume that he has already blown his arms off with a bomb…and if so, would he still pose a threat?
3) Why is that dude to the side staring so longingly at the dummy?
