And the brilliant bean counters are sending the maintenance work over seas, and you guys have to fly them. Nice.

There was a story of some airline several months back where a woman was outside of her home in the garden and sneaker bounced off the roof and landed by her. When she turned it over there was a foot in it. Same story. A guy in a wheel well was crushed to death and ripped apart. His body parts were all over final.

Newsflash: Delta offers unlimited jumpseats!

I can just hear it:


Jumpseater: Captain, may I have your jumpseat?

Captain: Well son, the jumpseats are full as are all the seats in the back. How about throwing you and your $hit in the right wheel well and we'll get you home.

Jumpseater: Thanks cap'n, I appreciate the ride!

At AAA in 2000, they found a body from CDG, paris, in LA..... That's right, AAA doesn't fly CDG-LAX. Customs, MX and the F/O missed it on the walk-around in Philly. Training should include a picture of what a dead guy in the nosegear looks like in that walk-around picture book. No offense AAA, the training I got there was the best I've ever experienced.

Or could the cause of death be from being crushed inside the wheel well because he thought there was more room than there was... sad.
lack of in flight meals.............

Actually my sources say he was severed by the gear retraction...they found part of him on the airport surface in Dakar.

Nasty.

In 1991, some dude tried to ride a J-31 wing from Paducah (or maybe Owensboro) to Memphis. He hid by the runway and jumped on the wing at takeoff. Terrified pax saw him, but it was too late. At a few hundred feet, he fell off, bounced into the airport fence dead. They never identified this guy. They even put his dead pic in the Memphis newspaper. Years later, the story was on Unsolved Mysteries. I don't think anyone ever claimed his dead, dumb arse.
