What famous people have you seen flying on the NEW us airways ?
 
I know a pilot that had Ron Jeremy on a PHL-LAX flight a couple of months ago.

He said the best looking F/A on the flight had to tell him who Ron Jeremy was 🙄
 
In CLT....
.....Ben Stein
.....Dan Rather
.....Tyra Banks
.....Lilly Tomlin
.....Joan Rivers
.....Ann Coutler
.....George Clooney
.....Renee Zelweger
.....Vivica Fox
.....George Forman SR
.....Nick Lachey
.....Wynonna Judd
.....Allan Greenspan
.....Vickie Lawrence
.................................thats just from this past few months that I saw.......not that I'm star struck or that I stalk them as they wander through the concourses and follow them all around the airport and ask for pictures or autographs or anything...nothing like that, hum. LOL. :ninja: 😀
 
Jimmy Carter - he came through CLT last month on a book signing

Sidney Poitier - met him in the jetway, he had to give a statement to the police
a drunk hostile passenger sitting next to him

Carrot Top - comes through here frequently.

Countless sports personality's. One agent has a locker full of baseballs, mini footballs, golf balls,
etc... he has a huge autograph collection.
 
On an award flight, Doris Roberts (Marie Barone from I Love Raymond) was in first class with me from LAX to PHL. She was extremely nice and pleasant and even posed for pictures with the FA during the flight-- she hardly touched her food--seemed like didn't like it and the plastic utensils. It was a fitting end to my time spent with US as an in the seat CP who has moved on this year due to the enhancements of the ff program.
 
If I were a celebrity, I'd probably want to go incognito when flying the new US Airways. Heaven forbid there are paparazzi around.....of course, I doubt paparazzi would waste their time staking out US's gates. :lol:

Occasionally I have flights to/from LAX where I can tell (i.e. by the way the FA in F interacts with them) that someone is a celebrity....I just can't identify them.
 
Richard Lewis - Stopped to talk to him, and compliment him about Curb Your Enthusiasm. He was very nice and approachable. He joked about his glasses and how his wife wouldn't stop "fuckin" with him about them, and how mine looked like ####! 🙂 Very funny man.

Lou Ferrigno - Busted my chops about boarding first and a better seat. His face twitched a lot, I think he was trying to intimidate me.

Bruce Valanch - Total fatman. Celebrity fit club is a hoax

Carmen Electra - very low key

Former P.M. of Canada. He was here in PHX on business. He held up boarding because he demanded to board first and prospect was very slow.

Prince of Spain - He was a skinny man, well dressed. The person helping me at pax service was melting over him. Personally, I think he was a wuss.

Young Jeezy - Didn't actually see him.

Flava Flav' - He looks like what Magic Johnson SHOULD look like. He had the clock and EVERYTHING HA!

Will Farrell - Very low key. Used the kiosk to check in, wanted no preferencial treatment.

Paula Abdul - Did curbside check in


Jeremy Piven from ENTOURAGE......

This one is hilarious. He arrived late, of corse, haha, and made it to his gate at like -7. The agent, and older woman, went ahead and closed the flight down and denied him boarding. He gets all pissed off, naturally, and gets in her face and says:

"Do you know who I am?"

"yes I do," she replies

"Good.... Does this intimidate you... I'm a famous actor, and you're holding up production!!"

(She was intimidated, but she comes to the PAC counter and said something like she wasn't some teenage girl and didn't care who he was.)

That was funny haha, everyone was looking for him, I guess he stormed off after making a sceen at the PAC counter haha! I bet people were like WOW! Just like the show! HAHAHA!
 
Back in '99 or '00, rode from TPA to PHL in 1st next to Randy "Macho Man" Savage, he chatted with me the whole ride, was one of the nicest people I have ever met!
 
come to think of it, back in the MetroJet days, we even Had Hillary and Chelsea on a Metrojet to IAD, not a typo, her, Chelsea and Secret Service detachment rode MetroJet! I remember the Secret Service "babysittting" us while we loaded their baggage. Also used to get General Tommy Franks riding the DCA flights quite frequently. Even remember EX Phillies player, Darren Daulton flying on us quite a bit. Jimmy Williams flew back home to TPA( Dunedin) from BOS on MetroJet the same day he got fired from the Red Sox!
 
I had ALan Thicke (Dad from Growing Pains) on a fligt from CLT to FLL. I have to say, he was the absolute nicest celeb I have ever met. He talked to me for about a half of an hour in the foward galley. He talked about all the "unfamous" that are now famous due to Growing pains. Hillary Swank, Brad Pitt, etc. It was nice as he acted like a person not a celeb. He was with his father in-law,

I too had Ron Jeremy on a flight....what an ugly nasty looking man.... lol

I met Melanie Griffith and Antonia Banderias in the airport. Talked to them in the food court area. Very nice... Antonio is little...

Apparently had Fantasia......little girls were all excited....I didn't know who she was.

Delta Burke is also a very sweet lady.

Richard Simmons is a hoot!!! Ran down the jet way in his llittle shorts grabbing the PA and saying all kind of outlandish stuff.

I also had Brad Paisly and his wife Kimberly on a flight. They sat in coach seperately. I don't believe anybody on the plane knew who they were. He tried to had his face under his hat most of the flilght.
 
Had Beyonce (sp?) on a flight to LGA...not very recently though. I'll just quote my mother and leave it at that: "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all."
