Hello.

Do these make sense about a flight attendant or a sailor?

1. She is a flight attendant. Most of her time is spent on the plane. She calls it her flying jail.

2. She is a sailor. Most of her time is spent on the ship. She calls it her floating jail.
 
[STRIKE]Hello.[/STRIKE] Please stop using unnecessary greetings. Just go straight in with your question. I'm sure we told you that yesterday!

They both work for me, but note that I have changed the article. It's possible that a sailor spends all their time on the same ship, but flight attendants definitely work on different planes.
