Funny Flight Attendants, Part 2

(This is another in a series of actual conversations I've had with Flight Attendants.)

A Flight Attendant (F/A) is in the cockpit. Opposite-direction traffic is approaching, 1000 feet below us.

Me: If you look out there in front of us, you'll get to see an airplane zip by us in just a minute.
F/A: What?!
Me (pointing): Yeah, he's right there, coming at us.
F/A (not looking): You can not see airplanes up here... can you?
Me: Sure! We see 'em all the time. Look right there.
F/A (spotting the 757 now): Oh my God! Oh my God! I didn't know you could see airplanes. I don't like that!
Me: Why?
F/A: I don't know. That seems dangerous.

Needless to say, some remedial training for this poor, lost soul followed. More funny stories coming soon.
