Passengers Who Make Your Flight Hell!
This has been published by Airline Transport World . . . I have put my order in for a copy.
Passengers Who Make Your Flight Hell! ________________________________________ Perhaps it's the excitement of flying, maybe it's the overwhelming fear or just maybe it's the fact that you are cocooned in a metal tube with hundreds of other people?the fact is flying brings out the best and worst in us all. <> Passengers Who Make Your Flight Hell will take you on a humorous journey, where you will have a look at the lighter side of flying: your fellow passengers' quirkiness and their tendency to behave badly. Most of the flying public fits into 10 major species, with a few specific sub species: Like Carry-on Greedicus who will be sitting in row 60 and dumps his bag in row 5's overhead storage space so he doesn't have to lug it all the way to the back of the plane. And there's Bladder Incredibilus who spends the whole flight making trips to the toilet, stumbling over your feet and interrupting your meal. Through the photographs, we also look at the lighter side of flying through the years, and bring the more dramatic side of aviation to life in a whimsical way. If you love flying - or even if you hate it - you will find something amusing, ridiculous or bizarre to bring a smile to your face. |

:ok: Funniest post all year, by LowerEndLubed. To quote a mighty RIO (RIP), you crack me up, you really do! You poor sap... Who writes your stuff??? Relax, Lubed, one day all pilots will acknowledge the plight of you poor hosties and pay some respect to you... :rolleyes: Meantime, good one in the above post. Hilarious stuff!!! :rolleyes: |
An open letter to the Moderators of Dunnunda
In the past the moderators have forced other threads that are significantly more Australian aviation related than this into other forums because they vaguely fit into another category (RAAF Mirages? NextG Phones?)
I'm surprised this one has lasted this long here. I'd suggest it's probably safer to go straight for the “Lock Thread” option now however. :rolleyes: |
Hey Scotty....Hows it going?
To quote a mighty RIO (RIP), you crack me up, you really do! |
Not sure if these “oldies but goldies” made it into the book, but thought they might amuse anyway…..
|
That's a bl@@dy corker WELLCONCERNED! Had me literally ROFPML -especially that last one :ok:

I remember flying down the back of a Sringbok scairbus from Joburg to Perth a couple of years back. Two of the Seth Efrikan lads, obviously on their first trip on a big plane could not resist the availability of free unlimited booze. Result = one toilet cubicle sprayed from floor to ceiling with vomit. I really admired the FA who put on something resembling a third world chemical suit and waded in with an arm full of paper towels to try and clean it up.
I think one thing that really irks is when you get a screaming baby for the duration of the flight. Not the parents or poor kids fault. Just one of those things I guess. I usually find a few quick belts of the brothers Jim or Jack sends me off to oblivion for the remainder of the journey though :ok: |
I always wonder why people feel the need to "localise" the urban myth stories. Probably not you WC but...Qantas Airlines???...Indeed!:rolleyes:

Mia culpa
Buster et al
Sorry about the ‘blatant’ advertising line of “only $xx.xx” . . . it is a sign of my laziness in not deleting the offending text from the ATW daily email. I have just removed it – and please accept my apologies for not being more careful in posting. Cheers Pedota |
Apologies accepted!:ok:
(And if anyone missed it, it was USD19.95 or AUD24.95!):ok: |
Sorry Buster Hyman,
I did say they were "golden oldies". I do remember flying with "Qantas Airways" way back when... Anyway, at the risk of being way off thread, I found this whilst looking for passenger anecdotes: The REAL Instructions for Becoming a Pilot: 1.Every take-off is optional. Every landing is mandatory. 2.If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. If you pull the stick back, the houses get smaller. That is unless you keep pulling the stick all the way back, then they get bigger again. 3.Flying isn’t dangerous. Crashing is what’s dangerous. 4.The ONLY time you have too much fuel is when you’re on fire. 5.The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops you can actually watch the pilot start sweating. 6.A “good” landing is one from which you can walk away. A “great” landing is one after which they can use the plane again. 7.You know when you’ve landed with the wheels up when it takes full power to taxi to the ramp. 8.Stay out of clouds. The silver lining everyone keeps talking about might be another aeroplane going in the opposite direction. Reliable sources also report that mountains have been known to hide in clouds. 9.Always try to keep the number of landings you make equal to the number of takeoffs you’ve made. 10.If all you can see out of the window is ground that’s going round and round, and all you can hear is commotion coming from the passenger compartment, things are not at all as they should be. 11.In the ongoing battle between objects made of aluminium going hundreds of miles per hour, and the ground going zero miles an hour, the ground has yet to lose. 12.It’s always a good idea to keep the pointy end going forward as much as possible. |
Don't forget #13!!!
If the wings are moving faster than the airframe, its probably a helicopter, and therefore unsafe!:E |
Or #14 - helicopters don't fly, they thash the air into submission.
|
Fly as far into the crash as possible.
