(It was well received. We got an official request for an encore from the crew up front, one of whom was having a birthday. So we sang to them too, and got some warm brownies for our trouble. Life is good.)

The flight attendants had knocked politely, and then not so politely, with no success.

We pilots carried a tool that would open locked blue rooms. When they did not respond to my knocks and demands that they open up, I unlocked the door. And what to my wandering eyes did appear? He was on his knees with his head between her legs. She was sitting on the wash basin. Surprised that the door had suddenly been opened, and with an authority figure standing there, the two quickly sprang into action, getting their disheveled selves into some semblance of propriety. They returned to their seats, somewhat embarrassed. (Not as embarrassed as I would have been, however.) The Captain decided not to turn them over to the FBI. Yes, the FBI. All crimes committed aboard an airliner are federal crimes. It is a crime top disobey an order from flight crew.The Captain decided that, although they refused to respond to the flight attendant’s and my commands to exit the blue room, no real harm had been done and the couple were chastened by having been found in a compromising position.

For those who are tempted to use the blue room for other than the intended purpose, you have been warned. 🙂

Contrary to popular belief, seniors have seen a few things in their lifetime and aren’t exactly unaware of all manner of behavior.
