Ok now in these cases were the pax saying this to themselves or other pax, to the flight attendant, or were they sticking their heads in the flight deck and telling it right to the flight crew?

And aside from this, any general pax stupidity lately? I love hearing about stupid pax; it makes me feel smarter. lol

Overheard this one, and just about died!

Male passenger boards shouting "Dang this plane is small!"
Flight attendent replies "I am sure you have been told before size doesn't matter"

never flew for a regional but used to fly navajo's for an air ambulance company, got quite a bit of concerned looks. if i had a dollar for every time i heard "is this thing gonna get off the ground" i probably wouldn't have to leave home again.

Passenger: "Wow, this plane is so small!"
Me: Punches passenger in the head
Passenger: Stops complaining

Hey, I can dream can't I?

I'm on the EMB-145 and I've overheard people get on and ask whoever they are traveling with "Is this a prop?"

You guys are too sensitive.
I fly a tiny airplane. It is the smallest airplane I have flown in my professional career.

I'm ok with that as long as the paycheck keeps cashing.
