Reed Trencher, a single guy and public relations exec. used one recent wait at the gate in San Francisco to make a hiking date with a comely travel mate. One member of the Road Warriors panel who likes to flirt with male flight attendants says long waits on the tarmac, when crews have little to do, give him a better chance to zero in on someone who has aroused his interest. He and one attendant talked during a two-hour wait on the runway at New York's LaGuardia Airport and now stay in touch. Delays also lead to liasons that are more like a Survivor scene than a frisky frame from Temptation Island .
