Two stories that made me chuckle:
Pax boards a BA shorthaul flight at the crack of dawn somewhere in Europe, destined for London.
Pax: "Do you have today’s Daily ....?"
C/C: "Sorry sir, we are unable to offer any of today’s British newspapers until we arrive in London for the first time on these early morning flights. They are then available on the flights we do later on in the day. I do have a copy of yesterdays Daily ..... if you are interested?"
Pax: That is just not good enough - what do I have to do to be able to read today's newspapers on these early morning flights?"
C/C: "Fly with us tomorrow!"
and one to balance, a thick Cabin Crew comment to one of my colleagues....
C/C 1 & 2 come in to the flight deck on a beautiful, clear, moon lit night whilst Mid Atlantic on the way back to London.
C/C 1: "Wow, look at the moon, that's amazing! Which is closer, London or the moon?"
Capt - looks round in astonishment and was just about to open his mouth when C/C 2 chipped in..
C/C 2: Der, can you see London?"
Priceless!
