OK, being the airline type that I am, here's my take on this blonde thing.

Airplane at the gate, LA to NYC. Pax are loading, F/A sees a problem in first class, and goes to investigate. A man standing over a seated blonde in first class. His ticket is for the seat she is sitting in. Her ticket is for coach class, way in the back. F/A says to the blonde. "Miss, you are in row 47, you need to go back there and take your assigned seat." Blonde says "I am blonde and beautiful, and I am going to fly first class to NYC tonight, and nothing you say is going to change my mind."

Lead F/A is called, and the same explanation: "I am blonde and beautiful, and I am going to fly first class to NYC tonight". She crossed her arms across her chest to block any further comment.

The Captain is called. He assesses the situation, and then tells her she has to take her seat in the back, or no one is going anywhere. She restates her little chant..... " I am blonde and beautiful.......

The Captain thinks for a moment, and then leans over and whispers something in her ear. She blushes, and with a huffy, embarassed flourish, gathers her things, and retreats to row 47, her assigned seat in the back.

Everyone in first class, and all the passengers who are standing in the blocked aisle are clapping as the Captain struts back to the cockpit door.

The two perplexed F/A's are mad as hell, and loudly ask the Captain, as he is going thru the cockpit door, to tell everyone what he said that made her move.

He smiled, and said "I told her that the first class section in this airplane is not going to NYC."
