Video circulating widely appears to show a flight attendant exiting a lavatory. She looks caught and awkward, adjusts her uniform and walks off. A short bit later, it appears we see a pilot exiting the same lavatory doing the same “walk of shame.” And the passenger filming at his seat just happens to have his camera trained on the lavatory when all this happens.
Reactions run the usual gamut,
“That’s why we pushed back late — crew scheduling.”
“Captain says ‘we’ll be cruising at 35,000 feet’ and meant it.”
“So that’s what ‘in-flight service’ means.”
A passenger’s camera caught this accidentally.

Now, this looks staged to me. The camera is framed on the “reveal.” Both cabin crew exits are played up for comedy. And while their wardrobe looks like “pilot/flight attendant” I don’t recognize the airline. Also, no airline or route is shared. When was this supposed to have happened?
We don’t often see crew joining the mile high club in a lavatory! They can find space with greater privacy, like crew rest on a widebody or in the cockpit. Or they can just wait for the layover hotel.
‘Spicy Flight Attendant’ Cierra Misst, who used to work regional jets for Republic Airways (an Express carrier for American, United and Delta) claimed, though, that she worked a flight to Nashville, where the passengers were all bachelor and bachelorette party groups. Everyone got handsy, and several people joined the Mile High Club – including a new pilot.
The story was implausible. New York JFK – Nashville is about 2.5 hours on a Embraer 175. Let’s assume it took awhile to get into the mood, and also that there was no activity during the first and last half hour of the flight. There’s just not enough time to work up to this for people who didn’t know each other before… and to interact with one of the pilots to get them roped into this?
There are two lavatories – at the front and the back of the plane. So from a pure efficiency standpoint multiple Mile High Club events would be possible, these aren’t super large lavatories – degree of difficulty alone cuts against the likelihood this is true.
Probably each group of passengers was gender-segregated. And while it’s possible some of these incidents were same-sex, any opposite sex encounters would have been between people who had just met. Possible, but how many of these couplings would have happened so quickly?
That said, she does have suggestions for passengers who want to get away with it.
- Flight attendants will ignore passengers and congregate in the galley for half an hour at a time after they’ve completed their main service. That’s your time, if everyone’s in the forward or aft galley then you use the lavatory by the other galley.
- She also says you just do it at your seats if you have your own row, just avoid the back of the aircraft because there are probably non-rev employees there.
Do it in full view of everyone, at your seats? Seriously? Though people do, in fact, do that!
The opening of her video contains language that is very much not safe for work or even for work from home:

While joining the Mile High Club isn’t exactly common, it isn’t rare either. Although contra Ms. Huffman, no, crew aren’t doing it on your flight.
Better lavatory advice than she gives would be to pay attention to the ‘LOPA’ or layout of passenger accommodation of the aircraft because not all lavatories are the same size. AeroLOPA is a good site for this. Pick your venue wisely!
Truthfully, there’s nothing sexy about an airplane lavatory except on some premium Gulf and Southeast Asian carriers in Airbus A380 first class. Better to just book a charter flight for this express purpose (starting at $995 in Las Vegas).
There’s usually a line for the lavatory, too, so this won’t go unnoticed and you might get exposed to the whole plan in the midst of the act by a devious flight attendant.
It’s noteworthy when it happens on board with celebrities, like the Victoria’s Secret model who got caught doing it, the supermodel indignant that her privacy is violated when other passengers watch her have sex with her girlfriend at her seat, Jamie Foxx bragging about it or American Airlines losing rocker Tommy Lee’s luggage after he did it. British Airways actually promoted when Elizabeth Hurley did it in First.
People have been joining the ‘Mile High Club’ since 1916 when Lawrence Burst Sperry, inventor of the autopilot, took a Curtis C-2 Flying Boat off the coast of Long Island and spent time with a woman whose husband was off in World War I. They crashed the plane into the bay and were rescued – naked – by duck hunters.
H’welp, t’was ‘bout time for ‘nuther Cierra Misst post, eh, Gary? H’yuck!
What is this garbage
Impossible. And no pilot and flight attendant would risk their job. It’s an E175, not a 777.
Stop giving this hooker attention for fake shit
