Taken from another forum...

A guy I once knew was going on a trip to Hawaii on a plane. He worked for the airline, so he got a good discount on the tickets. General boarding was called, and the man got on the plane. He went to his seat and put all his bags away and gave his coat to the attendant. Being an employee of the airline, he knew a couple of the crew, he went up to the (ockpit and greeted the pilot, who was one of his good friends, then went back and made his rounds talking to the rest of the crew he knew. After he'd gone back to his seat, police officers boarded the plane and arrested the man.

?

EDIT: Pilots name was Jack. Guy went into cockpit and said "Hi Jack!".

Lame.

there are no attendants on planes.
All i got is he is a drug smuggler, and his job was to get the drugs into the plane. There he hands them off via his coat to someone else. In this case cops set up a sting operation and caught him. The fact that he is employed by the airline makes it easier for him to get on the planes?

they were crooked cops. Hawaiin mobster Toni Andalosi bribed the cops to arrest the man. See, the man owed the Hawaiin mob nearly $230,000 in unpaid gambling debts.

So it was a broken riddle as originally stated to you. A riddle relies on the reader / listener filling in missing pieces but the pieces should follow from the riddle itself.

"What walks on four legs at dawn, two legs at noon, three legs at sunset"

Is a good riddle. This one is not.

Wow. It is like one really horrible joke turned into one really horrible, ambiguously-stated riddle.
