No. But I think I know where a certain low-flying ex-Cathay pilot get's his ideas from:

No, but they can do the dance of a 1000 knives, only problem is most of them end up in your back

Or maybe they could do the dance of a 1000 veils, and leave the last 999 on

As an aside I am pretty sure I have seen the girl closest to the camera in Neptunes

In my cabin I'll never allow this type of frivolous behaviour -safety is not a joke.What type of image you are portraying?

Makes a mockery of safety and the capt's PA: ''would like you to give full attention''.....

This standard, wll you let your kids fly with them?




PS no, I won't lighten up..

Ex Cathedra,

regarding the AOM flight deck (de)briefing, speaking purely from an engineering perspective, a local FA with small hands would be well suited to the function of adjusting the straps of the load bearing structure here, but I'm certain that the wrists would give way when temporarily taking the strain of the front end load itself. I am estimating each load to be far more than 1 BSH (British Standard Handful).

Perhaps the pilots could be of assistance in the function of load bearing here with their large hairy hands?

Safe Flying is always better with a large pair of airbags.

Best Regards,

N1 Vibes

"Toss Toss Baby" ... original by Vanilla Ice (Ice Ice Baby)

All right stop Toss it out and listen
“Toss” is back with a deluded mission
G.A. pilots irritate of me slightly
Shoot em down at dispatch daily and nightly
Will I ever stop NO .. I just know
Wear a clean hat or I’ll BLOW!
To the extreme I am a prick like a vandal
Light up a FO and wax his ass like a candle


DANCE! go rush a HAS bus that booms
I'm killing your confidence like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a cockpit melody
Anything less than harassment is a felony
Love it or leave it I pull the weight
You better hit bull's eye For the QL day
If you have a problem, TOSS I'll solve it
Check out my TASH while Masako revolves it ..

Toss Toss BABY!

But on every single CX flight I have been on, the CC allow pax to walk around with seat belt sign on ?? evidenced by the injuries received by said pax in the recent past.

Try not to be too much of a hypocrite

Oh, and lighten up, you would go so much further in life if you did'nt walk around looking like you just sucked on a turd

It couldn't be done with unionised, senior, potato-shaped grandma trolley dollies at USA carriers. . . . That's why age-35 already is old by Asia standards.

Slightly off subject, I just upgraded from a Telecaster I'd been playing since the '60s for a HitchHiker from Nokie. Wow!!!!!

I think the safety demo can be enhance further by installing some silver poles in the cabin. Cebu Pacifie's call sign should change to "Pole Cat"!

Your technical knowledge is commendable, but you made a critical mistake in your calculations, albeit a common one. You forgot to convert the units.

You'd have to use EASH (East Asia Standard Handful). The current conversion rate is around 2.54 to 1.

The whole exercise becomes much more feasible this way, if, of course, much less purposeful.

Ex C

You are of course correct.
I still think she's hot.
Can't get past the "manual inflation tubes" bit.
