"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and uh, I believe that our, I, education like such as uh, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uhhh, our education over here in the US should help the US, uh, should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us." |
Somebody mentioned the sw announcement to the effect of "if you don't know how to fasten a seatbelt, you shouldn't be out in public unsupervised..."
I had a lady sitting next to me a while back that was trying to put the metal end into the back of the buckle (the end opposite the latching end). I watched for a few tries, then she asked me "how do you fasten this thing?" I told her "you have to turn it around..." I am not kidding here... she flipped it around so that the lifting side of the buckle was facing her lap, but with the latching side still facing away from the metal end. She tried a couple of more times before I told here she had to flip it the other way, and showed her my seatbelt. When she finally did get it fastened, the lifting side was still facing her. I didn't correct her. Later, she started some small talk with me by asking if I like my job. I said yes, blah blah. Then she asked if I had ever seen God while I was flying. It was a very uncomfortable flight after that, I kept my headphones in until I had to take them out, and then did everything I could to avoid conversation with her. But she did manage to ask if I haven't seen God, how about angels? Clearly she was a few metars short of a release, but I did actually meet someone who couldn't figure out a seatbelt. |

Guys,I dont get to fly the big stuff like you do but here is one of mine.One day i was putting out fertilizer on rice fields,and had to stop for about 20 minutes to give the flaggers time to move to another field.This was before we started using GPS for flagging. Well,The guy driving the fertilizer truck said to me"Why dont you kill it?"I said"The battery is dead and it wont start without propping it"He said,"Dont worry about it,I got a big logging chain in the truck and i can pull start ya" I just declined the generous offer and let it sit there and idle. FLY SAFE T.C.

Probably a dumb question: was that iPhone commercial real, or was it all made up, etc.?

When I was an RJ CA I had a new hire FA that was flaming gay and dumber than a bucket of horse squeeze. We had a three day trip up and down the east coast, all coastal cities mind you. Every time we landed he would ask me what time zone we were in, usually in front of the passengers. I explained to him several times about time zones and that we wouldn't be leaving the eastern time zone all week. Sure enough the next time we landed he asked again, in front of passengers, and I politely reminded him of our discussion. To which he replied: "yea, but we've been flying for two hours right?"

What always irks me is the public and the media's insistance that any and all pavement at an airport is a runway.
"Yeah, we're sitting here on the runway, waiting for our gate..." "200 pax were left stranded on the runway by ABC airlines..." That really burns me up more than anything. |
Whats really frightening is that all these people are VOTERS !!!!! Thats right,, they actually choose are leaders. Be afraid, very afraid
