Probably good I'm not flying passengers!
Well done, sir. Well done.
I've only given a sarcastic reply to a passenger comment once. I was deadheading in the back, in full uniform, and this woman next to me just wouldn't stop talking. She made some idiotic comment about chemtrails and I responded gently with an explanation of what contrails really are.
She looks at me in disgust. "What are you, a pilot or something?"
Mind you – I was in
full uniform.
I couldn't help myself. I responded as politely as I could, "No, I just like to dress like this for fun."
The conversation pretty much petered out after that. I mean...just how clueless can someone be?
