Airways, August 1999 "BA2614 Would Like to Expedite its Landing: The key role of Aviano AB in NATO's air strikes against Serbia has caused numerous delays for commercial traffic in Italian air space. According to the UK's Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, and a host of others, that is probably what prompted a young flight attendant to surmise that they would be late arriving at their Genoa destination. On the contrary, replied the skipper, not only shall we not be late but we shall arrive early! When she laughed at his brash confidence, they struck a bet. She lost. BA2614 landed ten minutes ahead of schedule, which meant that the ramp crew at Aeroporto Christoforo Colombo was treated to the sight of an attractive BA flight attendant, clad only in underwear, a yellow safety jacket, and her captain's hat, teetering down the stairs and then running completely around the Boeing 737. After an investigation and her apology, the airline decided against disciplinary action. After all, remarked a BA spokesperson, she did follow the rules-she made sure to don the mandatory high-visibility safety vest."

Some stupid KLM steward punks and punkettes danced on the roof of a 747 some time ago. They weren't treated as kindly as that lady you speak of :]
On the roof..that's..what? 15 meters? Perish the thought..
