Cornbeef, Delta does want informative and timely PAs to keep our passengers up to date on delays or problems, but long dissertations about our backgrounds are not part of the plan. That stuff is just annoying to most pax and pure bragging at best. Thankfully, those guys are few and far between. Overwhelming majority of the people with whom I've flown are good aviators and true pros.

Corn, you are correct about that! Humor makes most things better.

The captain that reached across my lap to turn on the AC rather than just asking me to flip the switch that is 2 inches away from my right hand.

Tool of the Day
Early am flight from YOW back to DTW, I'm half asleep and on my first cup of coffee in cruise. Suddenly the most god awful smell crawls around my newspaper, the Captain has decided to open a can of tuna fish and start eating it for breakfast at 6:30am...A little warning would have been nice. Same guy had his passenger PA briefing printed and laminated on a card, it was the dorky-est thing I've ever heard. "Relax and prepare to be spoiled by FA-**** while we finish programming the various computers" Holy crap batman it's an RJ not the space shuttle. I think there was a reward for anyone that could steal it from him. More to follow It'd be funny to see if he reads it or not. Kind of like slipping in inappropriate words in a TelePrompTer. |

Hundreds of students are studying to fly UAV's | Mail Online
Aaron Gabrielson and Andrew Regenhard, aviation students at the University of North Dakota and self-proclaimed video-game junkies, could just as well be sitting on a couch playing Xbox. But instead of tapping their fingers on a controller, they're learning to fly the plane and use onboard equipment that includes a camera with a zoom lens as they continue their studies on their $150,000 course. |
