I've taken roughly 160 flights over the last two years and only twice have I sat next to someone I would classify as "stunning". Went on a date with one and the other was married. So basically, worse than 0.625%. All it takes is one though! 😉

Not high enough.

@D2: No, you don't - this isn't a market sizing question, agree with A1. You need to draw inferences on what "any given flight" means, and what the relative proportion is of the people on "any of those flights".

Thanks SA 1. Guys and gals, was just trying to make a joke on a Friday. Don't take things so seriously😉

It's a probability question.

@A1: Gotta size the market to know the odds...
