I think you misspelled "twit". :D

How about pax walking in front of you in the terminal, start to veer off slowly in one direction, then dart suddenly across in the opposite direction. Reminds me of a squirrel crossing the street.

Passenger getting off the plane hands one of the many blankets to the flight attendant.

Excuse me, here's this blanket, someone must have left it behind."

:eek:

Passenger boarding looks in the cockpit at our waterbottles by the doorway.

He turns around to his wife and exclaims, "Look honey, they've got waterbottles too!"

:confused:

I found this online "after a captin had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying our airline." He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sir, do you mind if I ask you a
question?" "Why, no, Ma'am," said the pilot. "What is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land, or were we shot down?" :eek:

No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the average American.

So I did a quick Google search of this story because it sounded vaguely familiar. I used ten consecutive words which I thought would be representative of the text, and I was returned 2,950 results.

Hmmm...

Yes, it's an old joke.......

Well this is no Joke...after getting a slam-dunk (poor descent planning on my part, lazy controller on ATC's part) approach into SYR right off IOE, I fought a nasty x-wind and made what I consider to be a less than professionally-firm landing...quite impressed with how well it turned out, actually...

Anyway, the last pax off the plane was a little old lady...looked me straight in the eye and said "that was a nice flight, young man, but the landing...well it was a little ::short pause:: too bumpy."

I looked at the CA and we both kind of chuckled, figuring the F/A probably put 'er up to it...but no joke - she was completely serious! Whatever, lady LoL...

Plenty of brilliant flight attendant quotes;

Me: Hmmmmmmm.....I think the internet is down, my laptop isn't connecting here (sitting in the terminal)
Her: ......wow......................................... ...you think that's worldwide?

FA: Um, not a big deal but there's a hole in the plane, I've seen it before, just thought you should know.
CA: (after he goes back during boarding to look) You realize the cabin door is open, right?

I was a pax in a Dash 8 and there was an awfully strong and gusty crosswind. The PF did an excellent textbook crosswind landing. He greased on the upwind wheel, he slowly flew the downwind wheel to the ground and then the nose.....just beautiful and no side loads. While shaking his head and chuckling, one of the pax mention to another, "these commuter pilots must be just starting out. did you get a load of that landing? one wheel at a time!" :rolleyes:
