Did any of the untied folks notice or comment on your

Well, one thing about Flight Attendant seniority is that Hawaii is so popular and so many of the "old timers" have semi-retired to Hawaii...that the Hawaii flights are the ones where you consistently get many of the older FAs that are keeping their employment benefits alive. And it's those older FAs that seem to notice my United/Disneyland/Tiki shirt most often. Probably because they visited Disneyland a lot in those days when United sponsored the attraction.

So, yes...it's been spotted many times, but mostly by the older gals.

I don't wear it on every flight over and back, but usually on at least one of them.

When you've been flying United as often and sometimes to the same places, and as many years as I have...you start to know some of the FAs pretty well. Some are like family!

Here's a shot of a great gal that's like an older sister to me, that we ran into on our return flight. Her name is Beverly and she's been with United since...well...I better not tell you. But she's #2 in seniority in the entire company! The other gal is Marianne...who I've flown with many, many times too and who we hung out with in Tokyo on one of our trips about 4 years ago:

Not the United/Disneyland/Tiki aloha shirt there. But a Mickey Mouse one instead.
