Should Muppets be Allowed to Fly?

[criticalmass]

I vote for Daria Morgendorffer as Senior Flight Attendant - and the deadpan safety announcements would be delivered in a better monotone than I heard on Varig a while ago.

just don't let that Beaker anywhere near the operation...

...he's all 'me me me me me'

[Sunfish]

I've finally seem a thread go totally and completely off the rails..

[Howard Hughes]

Hey Sunfish,

Obviously the "lateral thinkers" that you were hoping for are'nt out there. When you gonna put us out of our misery?

Rogeramjet181,

I reckon I've flown with that crew before!!

Cheers, HH.



PS: There seems to be an awful lot of "muppets' out there flying judging by the replies.

Some lurker will know.

Not even this lurker knows what Sunfish is talking about however my guess is that I've done worse over the years.

Not even sunfish knows what he was talking about. Musta been some good sh!t, man.....

Meanwhile, if you can be bothered, scroll down to Number 11 on this site for a rare image of Rowlf (the brainless mutt) the only known muppet atmospheric flier. (The Pigs in Space were in Space...obviously.)

So far, Rowlf has fared better than JD.

Surely The Cookie Monster wouldn't be able to hold a medical with that eye condition he's got.

[grrowler]

The Count would not be much good in the flight deck: "Number one bwhahahahaha engine failure...."

but he wouldn't need to ever recount passenger numbers as a FA.

[AerocatS2A]

My guess for the OP is that he's asking at what point do you quit flying, having realised that you are not very good at it? Or at what point does your instructor suggest that it is not for you? How many hours should you spend struggling with medium turns and climbing/descending before giving it up?

[gatfield]

I think we should get Muppethead's opinion.

[one ball]

Never give up. Some of us had many gos at the RPPL, UPPL, IFR, CPL, etc, flight tests over the years, pumping untold thousands of the old man's cash into the dero club coffers along the way (thanks again dad...).

Eventually even the dodgiest of Daero Club CFIs will start to feel a twinge of something resembling guilt and let you through, before you become a source of shame for them.


See? There's always hope slumfish!!

My only concern with Humphrey B Bear is that he doesn't wear any pants. Imagine the potential embaressment is he spies a cute little passenger, say Fozzy for example.

[gatfield]

I wouldn't get too worried, I think Humphrey is a eunich.

I mean, I've never seen any tackle.

[Planet Express]

I think the CASA position obviously goes to the aptly named Inspector Gadget.....

Go go gadget beaurocracy!
