For the most part, pilots and flight attendants who are fans of the New Orleans Saints do what most of us who have to work on Super Bowl Sunday do – they swapped shifts so they could get off work (I’m sure Colts fans did likewise).

Southwest flight attendant Julie Robinson got someone to cover for her, according to the Times-Picayune – then flew from her home in Chicago to join the party in New Orleans.

If she’d been working? She’d go to the cockpit. Sometimes pilots will request scores from air traffic control (said Robinson, “We say it’s for the passengers, but it might really be for us”).

In case you think air traffic controllers are having one big party on Super Bowl Sunday, no, they are not; in fact, the rules say no television, radio, the Internet or mobile phones allowed. However, they do get breaks, and there is usually a TV in a break room, and somebody will pop in during a quiet period to update the working controllers – and, the pilots and crew.

Meanwhile, sorry Colts fans – and congratulations to the Saints. And our best to YouTube sensation, the “Who Dat” dog – who really came through for his team.
