None of that at widget command. Sometimes I forget the world doesn't revolve around us. Only sometimes, though.

The DC9 seatbelt would mark the pants in 1 day.

Yeah, that's a run on. Two separate thoughts. You could have used a semi-colon though. That would work. Or, a couple hyphens.

The MD88 shoulder straps ruined several of my white shirts with grease smears. Never lost a button though!

I'm not a big guy, only 5'9" tall, but it seemed I was always in pain getting into or out of that cockpit. Between hitting my head on the overhead switches and banging my shin on the center console, hitting my shoulders on the door frame, trying to stuff my Purdy Neet into that tiny coat closet, and that seat that ruined my back, it's a wonder I can fly at all!

But I'm sure Boeing has fixed all those things on the 717!

My pants usually get a hole in my back pocket (from my fat wallet, of course) before they get belt stripes or shiny in the crotch.

A linen? What a great idea. Why didn't I think of that. I've been taking my pants off before fastening the seatbelt all these years. You live and learn.

Thanks for that Airfix... There ain't enough cognac in the cabinet to drink that vision away.

But your crew can still join a chorus of YMCA

I thought everyone knew to take a linen napkin off of your meal tray and fold it over the seatbelt gizmo to keep from marking up your trousers......oh, sorry, I forgot...no more meals...

I heard a guy who used the call sign, Eagle flight xx, call center and say, "Center, Eagle Flt xx, interrogative." Lol I nearly fell out of my chair. (Not really) Interrogative?

Cntr had no idea what he was trying to say but finally the Eagle Flt asked his question.
