In the cabin crew vein...

'I'm so tirred I've been shopping'

'Arre we going to arrive earrrly I have to catch Maneela flight'

'Wah, you cockpit crew, always go to pub'

'I go Chinatow' eat noodle'

'I stay in my room, watch movie'

The surprising observation on arrival in Toronto in mid-winter, 'Wah, so cold!'

'I'm so sleepy!'

'Thank you for the flight'...I still haven't worked that one out.

Gold.
On that line...

FA: "random question to sound interested"
FO: "Well, I have two...."

Airbus door: "beep beep beep"

FO: "......kids, One is 6...."

FA: Out the door, not interested.

And that is why I left CX...
Great guys, 99% of the times, boring job as it could be.

Any changes?

My fave lines from F/O's

..."Oh.... I didn't realise that I don't have to answer my phone on G Days"



"I didn't want to do it but....."




"....what do you mean did I do any research before joining?"

Briefing on the bus

Captain stands up, wobbly position, has to hold on because driving style and/or overweight condition/age

"Hello everybody" ( tries to sound enthusiastic and friendly, but still in charge/serious)

"Helloooo" (chorus, mainly first rows,slightly less enthusiastic)

" Welcome to XXX to XXX, Flight time XXX,this is F/O XX and maybe turbulent,maybe not, taxi short-long, weather at XXX XX degrees"

" Thank juuu" ( even less enthusiasic, zero new information, first row trying to sleep with eye open, rest secretely on whatsup)

" If you want to come to cockpit, please bla bla bal bla bla"

" okeee" only first row, sleep talking. (In the post-war history of cathay pacific no junior flight attendant has ever voluntarily visited the cockpit.)


"Have a great trip and don't do too much shopping!"

" hahahaha, thank yuuu" (fake laugh)

Captain sits down, red faced because speaking in front of public is not his thing and short of breath.

After a minute turns to F/O or ISM : "So, they keep you busy ?"

"where you live, DB?"

"can you wait, we are doing the service"

I particularly find it funny when you get on the bus downroute and the girls/boys are getting on the bus and completely ignore you as they file up the aisle head bowed thinking, don't look, don't' speak.


Has anyone else noticed how our right hands are a lot softer than our left?

I see it is the same everywhere. Ours "plug in", plugged in...can't hear..don't have to speak. I actually said something to one of them the other day. The bus ride from hotel to airport was seven minutes, and she spent more time than that unpacking/packing her music aids/headsets.

I said you could have a conversation with us for 5 minutes on the trip you know...blank look, no answer came the response.

Captain:
"So who wants to do the welcome and arrival PAs? It really helps to have them squared away before your command comes around".

(None of us have EVER done PAs before in previous jobs....)

F /O: "In NZ/UK/Canada/Stateside I flew all day in 50 kt crosswinds in my Cessna/Piper/Jetstream into crappy mountain/island/godforsaken strips with minimum fuel and desperate pax"....

Then he/she pooches a 10kt crosswind landing on a 12000ft runway. Right. ..

Being a complete tosser isn't the sole preserve of the bloke in the left seat
