At least they didn't ask you if we have have phones and still live in grass huts.

PoK

:D

My father told me this one...

On a trip that ran up the California coast and back they had a FA that came up to the cockpit to take a break and get away from the PAX for a minute. They struck up a conversation about how pretty the coast was. She asked what body of water they were looking at. After a second or two he realized she wasn't kidding and told her that it was the Pacific Ocean...:rolleyes:. My dad and the FO had a chuckle about that after she left.

Aparently on the return trip, she came back up and then asked them what body of water was that on the other side of the airplane.:eek:

I dont know if he was just stringing a yarn...but I had to laugh.:D

The lady the other day who was whining about flying in a puddlejumper. I asked what a puddlejumper is, 'cuz I have never seen one. I have no idea what a puddlejumper is. Do you guys/gals know what a puddlejumper is?

Enlighten me.

Does it bother any of you other lowly FO's when people ask if you're the co-pilot? It's obvious they think we do nothing...borders on disrespectful, even.

The other day in the crew-lounge I heard another FO refer to us as co-pilots too and I wanted to slap him LoL what a tool!!

if it is not a 737 or larger or a lear jet (the only 2 airplanes the public knows) then it is a puddle jumper

and if it has props it is DEFINATELY a puddle jumper. The Q is a decent sized plane but it falls right into the puddle jumper category.

I hear ya, Its part of the deal, I used to get mad, but thats even more ridiculous. Think about it, our egos as pilots are so big then when someone calls our airplane small (its is relatively to most peoples flying experience) we get upset, I think it's funny. I laughed the other day I was coming back from my P/C and this mother and her daughter get on the 757-200 and they were shocked "on how small it was"............people are dumb its just that simple

Bingo.

(Filler)

The other day we were flying a Comair Standard Route on the EAST Coast, the only place we fly.... and the BING! the flight attendant called and said ":pWhat Ocean is that?" our route was from somewhere in New England to JFK I think.... Amazing, absolutely amazing.:eek:

That's why its so funny to walk around the airport during a break...people-watching is a favorite activity of mine...the general public never, ever ceases to shock and amaze me! :D

you think thats bad, after a 2.5 hrd flight down to Daytona Beach our brilliant Flight attendant says, "Welcome to Daytona Beach, West Virginia":p I asked her if she happened to notice the water we came in over, and she thought it was the "Delaware River" unbelievable..................
