Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode.
Young boy: Hey, there's a man swimming in the water.
Father: No that's probably a dead body son. You see when the mob kills someone they throw the body in the river.
Jerry: How could you swim in that water?
Kramer: I saw a couple other guys out there.
Jerry: Swimming!?
Kramer: Well floating. They weren't moving much...but they were out there!

I had to deadhead into DCA last night on AWAC. I was hoping we wouldn't land on 33, but of course we did. I was asleep until the gear came down (which always scares me - why does it sound like something is falling off?). When I opened my eyes, all the passengers around me were alternating between staring at me and looking outside at the Potomac, which was quickly coming closer. I just went back to sleep.

The sound of the gear coming down scares you hmmm...
I think the only thing that sounds better is my other half calling me daddy

LMAO...actually he has a point. Sitting in the cabin of a CR2 anywhere near the main gear makes for a rude-awakening if one is asleep for sure...

lol, I deadheaded today and just fell asleep. I hate wearing my uniform when in the cabin but I had no choice. I wanted to avoid as much of the quizzing as possible. I could already imagine the questions, "Do they teach you how to ditch an airplane?" "Are you a co-pilot?" ....... and the typical questions, "must be good to travel for free, AINT it?" Luckily, no one talked to me today.
