Attendant impostor rode Eastern for five years
Charles Watrous, 32, wore Eastern Airlines flight attendant uniform and worked as a pretend employee for five years amid rising in ranks and speaking at seminars. He never held a real job with the airline, pleaded no contest to two counts of grand theft, received five years probation, and $1,000 payment to the court improvement fund. He said the impersonation gave him identity and camaraderie.
