First time transiting new FRA T3 today - drop off / checkin / security a breeze - then we hit immigration - OMFG!!!

Equal to worst most disorganized ‘cluster coughk’ you could ever imagine - over an hour to get through at 7am this morning.

But there is a story - whilst standing in line waiting for immig I turn around and I have this seriously tall blonde female beauty right behind me - god seriously gave her a whack with the ‘lovely’ stick.

After ten mins not moving she asks me ‘Do you actually know what line we are standing in?’ - Sorry no idea but everybody is joining this line so I guess it’s the one - ZERO staff members anywhere to be seen.

Painted on the ground where we are standing is a marked line ‘Non EU Passports’ - blondie pointed to it and said ‘I am Bulgarian - I have EU Passport maybe I should not be in this line.

Few mins later a red coat appears and blondie grabbed him - he directed her to go ahead and process electronically and she waves goodbye and disappears.

I board plane and settle in to 6E and lo and behold who appears and sits in 6A - blondie. She sees me and waves hello.

After takeoff she is out of her seat and standing at the bar rear of cabin - I got up and approached her and we had a great chat. Turns out she is actually a QR 320 pilot who had been home to Bulgaria to see elderly parents. And she is also married to a QR 380 pilot.

I won’t bore you with too much detail but one line from her did make me giggle. We went back and forth about occupations etc and I said ‘My god I thought you would be a super model or such’ - ‘oh NO NO NO NEVER’ was her reply - then ‘My best friend is but they are all such coughes!’
