Top 10 Worst Things to Hear Your Pilot Say
You're sitting in your economy 18B middle seat, sandwiched between two people who snore. Luckily, the Fasten Seatbelt sign is turned off, so you can squeeze your way into the aisle and head to the lavatory. You sit inside and revel in the freedom and space.You only have a few hours left on your flight, so you wander back to your seat when you hear the familiar ding of the Fasten Seatbelt sign. The pilot's voice comes over the intercom, and you hear:
Unless they start hiding parachutes under the seats, nobody wants to hear that their section of the plane might be landing early - and somewhere other than the airport.
While video games and flying a commercial plane are probably closer than you think, you should really hope for a seasoned pilot.
We hope to see nothing but blue skies, clouds, and the tops of mountains far below us.
That's why blue skies are always nice. Unlike the mountains.
I've never been this close to a mountain before...
I've heard of a phenomenon that makes sounds resembling moaning without apparent cause during airplane trips, so I think this saying would be slightly relieving.
We know those ten-minute catnaps happen, just don't advertise it to the passengers.
Haha... Actually oh my God! That's not at all funny!
Great list, Finch!
Being airborne is definitely the objective when traveling by plane, though sometimes it might be safer to be on the ground.
What a stupid guy. He had better land slowly.
Nobody ever thinks about the pilot's day. Maybe this is one of those days they don't want to see the end of.
Nothing like a laptop or iPhone hitting you in the back of your head at 500 mph - or the ground hitting you in the face at the same speed.
While planes can fly without one of their engines, losing multiple engines might not be the best thing for your trip.
If the person doesn't know the mechanics of a plane, they shouldn't be allowed to fly one.
While waiting to board the plane, we all watch to see if we can spot our bags being loaded, but who really watches the fuel crew?
This would be hilarious for two seconds until you're all screaming.
The Newcomers
There is always such a disparity between the meals in different classes. Has anyone ever decided it was worth paying the extra cost just to get a slightly better meal on an airplane?
Aren't the more comfortable seats, earlier boarding times, nicer staff, and better smelling air enough?
I must say, there is nothing like a hint of cannibalism to account for your metabolism.
They're about to land or in mid air, almost anything could be happening then. There's a malfunction, such as landing gears stuck in plane. Brace, Brace, etc.
