Recently, on a dead head flight out of O'hare, we are delayed being pushed back for de-ice on a bad weather day. After we sat for about 10mins, the CA informs us that the de ice trucks will arrive in 5 mins. I could tell the guy behind me is starting to get irritated and is wondering why this is taking so long. We finally push back after only about 30 mins at the gate (pretty short time for getting de-iced.) During taxi, the CA informs us again that it will be a shot wait prior to take off due to the weather and the number of departures ahead of us in line. Thats when the guy behind me turns to his wife and says " see honey, that why I always fly on SouthWest."
I guess I forgot that not only is SouthWest the greatest airline ever assembled, and it is also unaffected by adverse weather.

I had someone sitting behind me this morning while we were getting deiced ask why they were washing the plane. I thought it was just another stupid joke until another passenger had to explain the deice process in detail to her.

During new-hire training I was having lunch in the break room right next to where the FA classrooms were. I started talking with one of the FA's, and she asked how long my training was. After I told her six weeks, she was visibly upset...saying "You mean to tell me I could have gone through training for another three weeks and been a pilot instead of a flight attendant?"
I still shake my head about that one.

So, I'm flying the BE20 up from Naples, Italy to Stuttgart, Germany. We took off a little before sunset and I set the cabin temp to what looked to be about 75 or 80. I'll be the first to say that the temp gauge is the only thing in the 200 that I'd kick to the curb because it really doesn't work. We were comfortable up front all flight but after we landed the passengers sitting right behind us mentioned that they were freezing the whole flight. I told them that they should have tapped one of us on the shoulder and told us (as I previously told them to do in my pax briefing). The response... "I didn't think you had a heater on board so I didn't ask." Good Grief.

Not from a dumb passenger, but... Best quote from one of my passengers "If the Serbians at the airport want to inspect any of this stuff we are putting it back on board and leaving immediately." (Refering to about five locked mail bags and four locked footlockers.)
