Every time, my remark has caused chuckles from the passengers within earshot, especially when the FA turns around and sees that it's the FO making the remark.
Now I thought that it was pretty funny, but I'm wondering if there could be any backlash from some innocent humor if there actually WAS a white-knuckle flyer in the immediate area?
Thanks for your thoughts/opinions!
Funny stuff. When I'm done with the walk around and the pax are boarding, I usually ask the FA where we are going. The FA is usually the only one to take me seriously. Usually get a few laughs which says alot for my pathetic attempt at a sense of humor.
