Big Metal Romper Rooms
 

Anyone know any threads on Monday's CSI Miami episode with the airplane with a "romper room" above 1st class where CA does FA.

ahah i saw that episode too...here are some blatant errors i noticed...first of all, when the captain was being interviewed by the police in the crew parking lot, the crew parking lot was way too close to the airport. its usually like a 20 minute shuttle ride in a bad part of town. second, did you see how nicely he was dressed? im assuming he just got done with a trip and yet his suit his very nicely pressed? at the end of a 4 day(dont even ask about 5+) i usually look like ive been thrown out of a moving car. while the embraer doesnt have a romper room, you can take a seat cushion off of a seat and put it over the aisle to lay down. i guess thatd work too in a pinch

if you noticed also, he only had two stripes on the sleeve

Are the mainline folks hiding something from us? What types of aircraft have romper rooms? In the regional world the ATR 72's are close?

Working for Virgin Atlantic way back when, I was very impressed by the romper rooms on the 744...at least on Virgin aircraft, you would find it in the back by the lav's. One of the doors opened to a semi-spiral staircase with ten bunks or so. Very cool...

I was not so impressed with the A340 (300/600), where the rest quarters were aircraft-center down in the belly. Don't know if there is any truth to it either, but I heard that they are actually pods that can be taken out of the aircraft much like the baggage cans...

Yeah, because there's nothing hotter than a granny looking cat rancher who's hasn't seen better days since 1964.

The girls in the photo don't exist in real romper rooms....those are models, hired to make the airlines look "fun" and "exciting". I always thought they were just called crew rest quarters, is Romper room, a real term, or something made up for CSI miami - filmed in California?

I've never heard them called that. I have heard them called "Condo," "Coffin," "Crew Rest Facility."

hah, Yeah I TiVo'ed that episode. You would think that a show like that would hire an outside aviation 'consultant'... So many flaws. But my favorite line "Hey look, down here Im a good husband, up there, the rules are different." I'm sure the Delta wives loved seeing that - that is if they took a break from watching "The Pilot's Wife" for a moment..

Oh man did you see the episode where a an engine failure sent a businessjet spinning into the everglades? You can't possibly take that show for serious!

KSBY- 30 seconds from sign out to loading the bag in the car:)

He only had two stripes because he was about 30 years old.

Here are some more...

• The rest of the crew started the trip in San Diego, the Captain finished his trip in Miami.
• A flight attendant was still cleaning the plane hours after landing.
• Everything about the air marshall was wrong, but classified.
• The center row of seats was one seat wide.
• The "hatch open" caution light is on the wall behind the Captain's head. Kinda hard to notice.
• The claw that cut the FA's neck would also slice open luggage.
• Why was the cargo hold ceiling about 12 feet high?
• Was the aluminum extention ladder in the cargo hold certified for the aircraft?
• How did the killer FA put away the ladder in the cargo hold after using it to exit the hold?
• The killer FA had a ready reserve during an overnight at an outstation.
• Why did the Air Marshall have a neck pillow?
• How does an Air Marshall smuggle drugs from France?
• Why was the Air Marshall smuggling drugs from France on a San Diego-Miami flight?
• Why would a rampie sit on the ramp with a laptop listing stolen goods on eBay?
• How does a rampie sneak stolen waterskis back to his car?
• Why wasn't the romper room in the aircraft schematics?

There were a dozen more but i wasn't writing them all down.

More like you think they would have hired a police consultant. That show is so completely ridiculous. I don't think I've seen any show that makes me think anything that happened is plausible. Good entertainment though :D

On Continental's 767s, there is only one seat in the center row of BusinessFirst seats. 2-1-2 configuration. While rare, certainly not one of the things to find fault about.

Got a cousin who is Chief of Detectives for a large city out west. He just laughs and rolls his eyes every time someone asks him about these shows. Says people watch, get ideas, and think that they can fool the cops, but it actually makes his job that much easier. Also, he wishes that they had all the equipment portrayed and that they could get a DNA sample back that quick.

How about "Life on Mars," set in '73 and the undercover cop posing as a jumpseater is offered wine by the CA because he's only j/s'ing! Oh, and the 'stews' are swilling it, too.

On CSI, the 'jumpseat therapy' session included downing several bottles of alcohol. Tell me the FA sitting next to her would be OK with that? That's worse than the NyQuil ad!!

The JAL 747-300's had a flight attendant crew rest area in the upper deck of the rear fusalage, like was described about the Virgin 747. Male flight crew members were forbidden to enter the flight attendant crew rest area during flight.
