New Flight Attendant Pranks
 

Anyone got a list of Pranks to pull on new flight attendants?

Depends if you want your inflight meal or not :p

I've got some good ones that C-17 crews play on each other. I can't divulge that info on here so pm me if you want some ideas.

Inflight meal? What is that? You mean the Asian Chao I got during my last 20 minute turn and forgot in the galley?

There's a thread about this from a month ago, but my latest was when they're not looking substituting their Demo CD (I fly the ERJ, 1 flight attendant) with a Metallica CD.......priceless!!!

Start a Captain / FO disagreement (getting stronger by minute) over what type of electrical current (AC/DC) the vortex generators produce. Ask the FA to settle the argument by asking another flight crew.

Nice! I'm going to have to try that one.

Pretend to scoop an air sample of the cockpit air in a cup or jar or coffee tumbler and tell the FA to rush it down to the ground ops guy for analysis to be sure the air is within EPA standards for the flight.

As a former FA, I can tell you that I *never* fell for one of those...;) On the other hand...I sure had fun getting the pilots back! BWahahahahah! Can we say vaseline under the tiller?!

Enroute to aircraft, within earshot of the new FA, ask the FO what kind of landings he expect today since he is the landing pilot and you are the take off pilot. Have him exclaim, oh *******, crew scheduling screwed up and scheduled two Take off (and no landing) pilots on the same aircraft.

What are we going to do ??:eek:

How do u make a FA come?

You ding her.

How do you keep a FA from coming?

*Call her

Xjet has them...

Ummm. I'm sure that whatever Xjet passes off as crew "meals" don't fit the true meaning of the term. Last time I checked, none of the aircraft that Xjet has in the fleet have a way to heat food up.

They're called turkey bullets my friend! The famous CAL turkey bullet.:D

Seriously though, the branded flying is supposed to have pretty good in-flight catering with lots of name brand snacks, sandwiches, pasta salads, etc.

When you get to the airplane in the morning ask the FA to run back up to the gate agent to get the keys. We can't start er' up without the keys.

As a passenger once I saw an FA doing a walk around, in the rain, god only knows what was said to her...

With a FA on reserve, key into the scratchpad on the fms something along the lines of "F/A.JANE.DOE.CALL.CREW.SKED"

Then while passengers are deplaning and she is standing by the cockpit door, exclaim, "Oh crap, Jill, you have a message".

Dude, that's not right. A fellow crewmember would have to give me a really good reason to get them to call Scheduling; that goes way beyond prank.

This is better (Last leg, last day):

FA.JANE.DOE.REPORT.TO.OPS.FOR.DRUG.TEST

That is pretty darn funny! I had to laugh on that one :D

type in 10 dollars in the scratchpad and hit a button and have a 10 dollar bill partially coming out of the acars printer...let the F/A think i's an ATM ....she might ask for some money on the last flight for an overnight to a totally new crew.

By the way, just a friendly reminder to the new guys, do not try to play a prank on a fellow f/a unless you know him/her really well. Don't forget you're on probation for a year, you're not a permanent employee until you're off probation.

I dunno if this has been said already, but:
If you are on a single F/A aircraft, switch over to PA when the F/A is doing his/her safety announcement and make comments over it when the F/A pauses from speaking to demonstrate...
IE "Ohhhh, so thats how you do it" when they are demonstrating the seat belts.
