I can only imagine the first test is going to be pretty rough!

Goddamit man, come on...
The funny thing is, I think it's actually a real thing. I once overheard a new FA talking to a new FO, asking about his training and what it entailed. I don't think she realized he had done aviation before getting hired.

I doubt that I would last two weeks if I tried to do a Flight Attendant’s job. Better to join the circus and become a lion tamer.

You've got the circus part right, Tom!

I wholeheartedly agree. I think they have to be well on the other side of crazy to do what they do, put up with what they put up with, and for the pay that they get.

That said, they do say some funny stuff and this thread is my favorite on APC.

Maybe we should have “things passengers say?”

“I can tell how high we are by my watch! I just time the flight and do the math of how high we’ve climbed; ten minutes in, I know we are at 20,000 feet! I always know where we are just by my watch!”

I didn’t have the energy to go any further with that conversation...

Ha! Yeah, what say tends to be even funnier, but at least they have an excuse, being outside the industry and all.

I once had a passenger swear that if it was 1000 in SEA it HAD to be 1235 in DEN because it took 2 hours and 35 minutes to get there.

We’ve had those in the past and they are by far the best read on APC. Need to find it or start a new one.

Funny thing is, the thread that inspired me to start this one was about flat earthers on the Delta forum.
